Fan clutch question
I set it to economy and the electric fan still came on?? The only reason im obsessing is because I just changed the TStat, coolant temp sensor and did a flush.. im debating on replacing the clutch.. I want to make sure this bitch is tip-top before i start doing mods
does anybody see a problem with this sweet deal on ebay??

1. Fan operates as follows:
Electric cooling fan switching points:
For A/C system:
⇒ On When vehicle speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) or less and ambient
temperature is 28 °C (82 °F) or more
temperature is 28 °C (82 °F) or more
⇒ Off When vehicle speed increases to (62.5 mph (100 km/h) or ambient
temperature decreases to 25 °C (77 °F)
temperature decreases to 25 °C (77 °F)
For engine cooling during normal running:
⇒ On 100 °C (212 °F)
⇒ Off 94.5 °C (202 °F)
⇒ On 100 °C (212 °F)
⇒ Off 94.5 °C (202 °F)
For engine cooling at ignition off (to counteract heat
soak):
soak):
⇒ On If, within 10 seconds of ignition off, intake air temperature is 60 °C (140
°F) or more and engine coolant temperature is 110 °C (230 °F) or more
⇒ Off After 10 minutes or if engine coolant temperature decreases to 100 °C
(212 °F)
°F) or more and engine coolant temperature is 110 °C (230 °F) or more
⇒ Off After 10 minutes or if engine coolant temperature decreases to 100 °C
(212 °F)
So yep, it will come on when AC is on and engine is a certain temp and ambient is a certain temp, it will also come on at 212F, and it will also come on after truck parked if needed.
If your coolant temp is getting to 212F, at 45 mph or so, and electric fan is coming on, it is not the clutch. You could have a partially clogged radiator, cold on bottom, hot on top, instead of warm top to bottom (within 10-20F). You can use a scanner or an ultra gauge to know what temps are going on inside the engine.
