Hey I changed my water pump and belts a month or so ago... Now all of a sudden a couple days ago while driving on the highway the clutch fan got much louder it's pretty annoying what can this be?? I was think the bearing on the fan but not sure I checked the belts tighten the up a bit everything is ok... Let me know guys

thanks

 

If you cant spin it freely with the truck cool, then its bad.

 

Does it feel like you lost a little umph in your ride now?

 

Fix the problem for good by converting to an electric cooling fan!
Go to L & C Engineering, they have a nice kit for under $300.00 for
89 to 95 models.

 

anyone who pays $300 for an electric fan setup is a tool

 

You paid too much. End of story

 

It's not that uncommon for the bearings in a cooling fan to go out, Electric or mechanical, replace the fan you'll be golden

 

Yeah true that's what in thinking aswell.... Yeah man $300 is alot cuz I seen electrical like universals for $20 on eBay man and they're good you know....

 

First things first and Im gonna just change the bearing first cuz I think I got one available

 

I've been mulling over this mod and have been leaning towards taking
the plunge and going for the $300.00 L & C Engineering package. I've
seen Hayden universal electric fans at Pep Boys for around $60.00 but
I've shied away scared of it being too "Mickey Mouse" in quality and
function. The point of my question here is has anyone here tried a cheap
universal electric fan and more importantly "how happy are YOU with it?"

 

Yeah the fan is pretty stiff to spin when the truck is off it moves but it's real stiff so I'm sure it's the bearings... **** that thing is noisy haha

 

Sounds like it is time to replace the fan clutch.
