Pulling hard up muddy pass westbound on hwy 40 in colorado in my kodiak 5500 based 2006 jayco seneca and the fan exploded taking out radiator, shroud and putting a hole in hood. Didn't see any debris before whole thing let loose. Thankfully we were very close to top near east summit of rabbit ears and there was a wide pull off to left and got off safely.
