What a Fully Locked in Fan Clutch Should Sound Like

[CzarWilkins]

My 2.8TD doesnt like it locked. The engine can barely reever abover 1500rpm on light foot. Had to get a new fanclutch.

[OverKillPlusOne]

I was sure my fan clutch was going/gone for the longest time, but the truck doesn't overheat so never thought much about it...I was pulling a horse trailer going south (and loaded w/ one horse going north) on US93 over Lost Trail, found out it works!

my dad says that our 1990 f150 5.0 liter engine doesn't have a clutch and that it is aways spinning as fast as the crankshaft. IS their a clutch on it that lets it slip when the engine is cold do you know? thanks for any feed back!

[IDIDieselJohn]

Originally yes it would have one, but i've seen some people when they go bad, theres a tab you bent out, and theres a screw you remove, and it locks in. So it's always locked no matter what.

@IDIDieselJohn how do you do that?

[maxhauler]

I don't hear the fan clutch engaging on/off so much on my IDI Ford (maybe I need to make sure it works) .. but on my Dodge Cummins it's extremely noticeably. The general engine noise on the CTD almost doubles when the fan clutch engages. Now I want to verify that the Ford's fan clutch is working correctly. Thanks for the video!

reminds of pulling a trailer in the hot summer

[BusDriverStevo]

You really have to run those things hard to get it to 0-60 fast don't you ?

[IDIDieselJohn]

Pedal to the metal! Gotta let those 170 Horses run free XD

[1972FordF150]

[IDIDieselJohn]

[stydel311]

@IDIDieselJohn oops, my bad! thanks for correcting me. love the videos!!!

[talldude123]

Close to 25 seconds 0-60, well, probably good for a motorhome!

[IDIDieselJohn]

0-100km/h (60 miles) witch took 39 seconds. Not 100% of the video is there. I cut out abit at the end. Real video is in the side bar of related videos.

That really accelerates well for a house on wheels!!! :)

[CorvusCasull]

That fan noise sounds very similar to a 460 gasser I have.

I've noticed that a properly maintained, traditional cooling system with an engine driven fan seems to work so much better than a properly maintained, electric fan/computer controlled cooling system. Weird.

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

holy freakin crap, that thing is no sports car.

[IDIDieselJohn]

XD nope!

[TNJfarm]
