Hi guys again,
Ichanged the fan clutch today,now I notice a roar like a lion when I accelarate.Clutch is new.Don t know if I should shoot it and hang it on the wall.Anyway is this normal?Thanks as always.

 

Did you use a new factory clutch assembly?

 

aftermarket from atlantic british

 

Call Atlantic British and see what they say. Tell them it is hanging.

 

I agree. Most aftermarket clutches are not equal to a factory unit and thus are not as good or can be noisy.

 

I purchased the same fan and clutch kit... I noticed the load roar. I wasn't sure if I had installed it right, but I think there is only one way to put that on there. Anyway, the roar seemed to lessen after a while. With these points in mind, I'll probably put a factory in next time. At 90k I'm going to replace it with a stock clutch, and keep the fan.

 

THANKS GUYS .CALLED ATB SAID THEY WOULD EXCHANGE IF PROBLEM PERSISTED.I ALSO NOTICE IT RUNS UNUSUALLY SLOWER SINCE I CHANGED THE FAN CLUTCH.BY THE WAY ON ANOTHERSUBJECT I POSTED ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AC PROBLEM THE BLENDING DOORS ARE PROBABLY THE CAUSE.I BYPASSED THE HEATER AND WALLA PROBLEM SOLVED.ENCYCLOPEDIA MIKE AND OTHERS WERE RIGHT.THANKS

 

El Gallo, how stiff is that fan when you turn it? I'm not sure how stiff it is supposed to be and I'm wondering if mine is on right or operating correctly.

 

I TURN AND IT HAS SOME RESISTENCE BUT IT DOES TURN.

 

CAN THE TRUCK BEING SLOWER HAVE TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT?
