Bad fan clutch will cause high head pressure in your AC...or cause it to not blow cold idling at the light..

@jjaa578 Год назад

Great video. I've got a 5.7 that won't reach operating temp. It's winter in the mountains. The truck still blows hot air but won't fully get to temp. I've replaced the t-stat and ECT sensor. Tomorrow I'll dive into the fan clutch. Hopefully that is the issue. Thank you for the in-depth video.

@nirazincopenhagen 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video mate. I have pajero 97. Got heating problem twice. First time did raditor servicing. Thought it solved but another over heating occured. Found water jacket freeze plug blew up leaking all the coolant. My mechanic was telling the fan clutch has problem too, its been connected directly without the clutch. Thats how i landed here. So as per your video the fan is running 30-60 percent less speed than the pulley since it was connected directly without pulley right? Also will it have effect on AC as well?

I have an 03 trailblazer with an electro-viscous fan clutch that has given me nothing but problems. Fixed the wiring and a bad ground but it still fails at times. Would it be possible to replace it with a thermal fan clutch with the exact same measurements, nut and bolt pattern?

@BLJ247 3 года назад

Good inf bro. Thanks.

@Mr.DIY69 3 года назад

Fan and pulley have the wobbling going on, my water pump is bad. Should i replace the fan clutch as well?

@DavidWWhite1973 3 года назад

Okay, late to the game but the problem you mentioned @6:08 just started happening to me. Over the past week this has been happening more and more. I have a 2007 Chevy Colorado and this happens every time I step on the gas, it doesn't matter what temp the motor is. So here's my question: If there's no "wobble" in the fan blade and it doesn't spin freely when turned by hand, can it still be a bad clutch?

I just replaced my water pump along with the fan and fan clutch. Before I swapped them it was not sounding like a helicopter after I changed everything to new it started sounding like a helicopter after I hit high speed the fan noise goes away but once I’m back in town/city I can hear the fan again any idea why? Thanks In advance.

@buddyrebel_Garcia Год назад

I have a 2005 Hummer H2 I’m in the process of doing an E fan conversion because I have the clutch fan and it really sucks I live in California and it’s always hot where I live at idle my AC doesn’t blow cold that’s one of the reasons why I’m doing the fan conversion. It’s super easy I’m doing GM factory E fans, with a harness and tune. That simple.

@shefketmustafa9228 3 года назад

Hello Thanks for the great video! What if the fan this type after starting the car engine while still cold, before the thermostat opens start engaging/kicks in for a few seconds and goes back to normal rpm, What that means?

I have a fan clutch on a 95 ford f150 with the 5.0 I replaced the thermostat,the heater core and water pump but when I start it up when cold it sounds like a fan is engaging and not engaging can you help could it be the fan clutch because I can’t get it to heat up at all? Need help!

@romyguimary6 2 года назад

2003 Dodge ram 1504.7 engine I change the fan clutch out twice brand new from AutoZone the first one sounded like a jet the second time sounded not too much like a jet but it was still there that sound I changed it one day The next day I changed it again and still does the same I put my old one back on ran quiet so I’m going to put another new one on again but is there a special one easy job the confusing the sound

@ahmadabdullah5940 Год назад

Greetings All, recently i bought Lexuz GX460 and as you know it is clutch based cooling fans. I think they are taking alot from the engine power + they are noisy, hence i am thinking of replacing them with a good electrical based cooling fans. What do you think? Dows the clutch fans provide more cooling than the electrical as the engine ramp up more or the electrical fans would be better in all aspects? I know the clutch is more reliable in some points as you are not relying in alternator and so on but i really hate them despite my car is really new, any advice please.

@ramonjueves8987 2 года назад

what happens when you fix your thermal clutch fan by weld so that the fan goes faster as you rev up the engine. is it advisable to permanent fix the fan ?

@flowaheadmovement-mindfuln5876 2 года назад

My ford econovan 94 is overheating „Slightly“ only up the hill or on the highway. Changed the thermostat and did a radiator flush. Someone was giving me the Tipp to change the fan clutch. But in every video ppl say that it would then overheat in traffic and stop and go. My car does not do that. Does that sound more like a hunker up radiator?

@donaldcooper5534 Год назад

@graysonfischer 3 года назад

Thanks for the vid! Just put a new thermal fan clutch on my 1985 dodge D250 360 v8. Fan was constantly spinning even on cold engine and never reached operating temp so I figured the clutch was shot. New fan clutch on and still the same issue (the fan does mount directly onto the water pump pulley). Constantly runs and only ever reaches 1/4 of the way up my temp gauge instead of sitting at 1/2. What’s my next step?

Hi Lynn I just put a fan clutch on a 60 motor in a box van I don't know what you would call it but it's a box van and I put a new fan clutch on a new fan and a new thermostat problem with the temperature going up to say 250 no signs of overheating through the water system I don't know what's wrong could you give me some advice

@mitchellnoll7402 Год назад

Hi I recently replaced my water pump, couple hoses and the fan clutch, cleaned the fan blades off. Every morning on a cold start the fan clutch stays engaged. Even if I let it sit for about 4 minutes, the vehicle temperature has not moved much and when I drive off it is still engaged. Until I reach a certain RPM then it will disengage. We had a really cold day and it still did the same thing, it was engaged as soon as I started the vehicle. Even if the vehicle sits for about 5 minutes it is still engaged and still engaged as I drive off, but then once I reach a certain RPM it will disengage and the vehicle is only maybe 120° on the thermostat, I replace the thermostat as well but it's also running 10° colder than what it usually does, instead of 195 it only runs about 175 on really cold days, maybe 185 and it is supposed to be 195° thermostat. It was a Murray fan clutch and I think it is bad, I don't think that it should stay engaged especially when it's 26° out, and the vehicle is not even warm or heated up, what is your opinion

@manuelcamacho6292 Месяц назад

Are all clutch fan activate at the same degree ?

@chevyboyzz4996 3 года назад

I replaced my water pump the gaskets and thermostat as well as the heater hose connectors because it was leaking coolant and it would over heat, but my truck no longer leaks coolant but over heats if I run the ac and I’m idling in a drive thru or idling for more than 35-40 min will not if I’m driving. I really hope a fan clutch will because I have to rev it up to cool down.

@Froztinc 4 года назад

So if i rev up my engine (5.3) and the fan clutch spins faster it's logically no good? Because as i rev it up the fan spins a lot faster making the engine cooler.

@OldSchoolNoe 2 года назад

Looks like I have overcooling. Operating temperature of my vehicle is 198 to 220F, I've noticed it stays in between 180 and 188F. I'm suspecting that fan clutch spins all the time.

@ericwinget5454 3 дня назад

Hi. I got a new fan clutch for my motor I put in my truck . can't find the right fan blade for it can you help. The fan clutch is 2705, and I need a 17" blade to bolt to it

@carlodonnell146 Год назад

Another feature about fan clutches is that some are reverse and you need to get the correct one for your vehicle as I recently learned when I bought the wrong one for my 2001 dodge ram. The new one spun on like crazy when the engine was shut down; it should stop with the engine on shutdown. I had to go back to the old one which turned out to be working correctly ...stopping with the engine shut down

@jpadilla0515 6 месяцев назад

So my fan clutch spins as soon as i start the truck, and it takes about 5 seconds to stop fully. Does that mean the clutch is done? Does that mean its cooked? Will spin freely

@Smokedout325 2 года назад

How do i know if i need to replace the clutch or the fan blades themselves? My blades keep rubbing the shroud and im not sure which to replace

@1AAuto 2 года назад

+Daniel Andrade Spin the fan as hard as you can on an engine that has not been started that day. If the fan rotates more than five times, you can bet the clutch is bad. You should feel some resistance and the fan may spin up to three times, depending on the ambient temperature.

@jamesnorris4188 3 года назад

@zachlawless2927 3 года назад
