09 6.4 Diesel Fan Clutch Replacement | Diag & HOW TO

[@radarnj8043]

Money to be made for a 6.4 swap method to a better motor. Many a nice truck out there with a dog motor. Like Powerstroke Help did for the 6.0.

[@Itsa_Mea]

Yeah like Taylor Ray did. kzbin.info/aero/PLrnO4zznq_kQ0j8DQFuS0q135lrJwr-ul

[@michaelchan8915]

I get tired of reading "how do I swap a Cummins into my 6.4 truck" questions on various forums anymore, as if Cummins are the Gods of diesel engines. Although I do get that the 6.4s are unreliable. However, with the age that 6.4 trucks are, along with their well deserved poor reputation, it's debatable whether any of them are worth putting any money into them to keep them on the road.

[@radarnj8043]

@@michaelchan8915 Nobody here said how do I. As for the age of that truck model they are well built and a million mile truck if not for the 6.4 motor. I'd wonder if a 7.3 6.0 or even and 6.7 could be swapped economically. Make it a method and make money.

[@mcool4587]

Powerstroke Help and what he did for the 6.0? Hahahaha what a joke. He's noting but a used truck salesman and fuel additive hustler these days. Look at his old videos where he is selling "Procrap" oil additive, the Engine Damage Avoidance System (EDAS) with is own voice on it, special "snake oil" coating from Germany for head gaskets, and then the Bigg Dogg cylinder heads. Come on, cant you see a con man from a mile away? If you want the real and honest 6.0 expert, look up the Deisel Tech Ron videos or stay tuned to this channel. Need a used 15 year old truck that costs 3x book value, then go to the used truck salesman's website.

I'm changing one today in a 6.7. It's doing the exact same, running and not stopping. Looked into removing it entirely and adding electric fans. But alot of off road guys say the electric fans don't pull the same air. Got a Hayden clutch from Rockauto. Get all my parts from them now. Even with shipping fees from USA to Canada, it's always half the price than buying local or stealership. The 6.7 is pretty easy to get at.

[@toddflygare]

good video, i just took the hot side off and left 2 bolts in the fan while i used a air hammer to get the nut loose.slid new fan clutch in and put up back together. easy peasy lemon squeezy. the less work the better

[@Graveltrucking]

On my 6.0 the fan clutch was doing the tin shield rattle drove me nuts for a year. Decided to change it out last December. Long story short thousands of dollars later I changed everything in the cooling system. I had to cut the fan clutch off with a Milwaukee torch blade in my recip saw. Wasn’t too happy a couple hour job turned into a week long job waiting for parts from Ford.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Ughhhhh

[@bobcobb7719]

Well, I’ve got a 2008 6.4, 215,000 miles on it, runs great with the only real work it’s had done to it is the rad upgrade back in 2010. So, while I hear all the chirping about the 6.4, if you were smart enough to remove all the pollution nonsense, upgrade the intake, run synthetic oil, do the required PM at reasonable intervals (especially fuel filters),buy clean fuel and drive it like a human being they can be a great engine. Idiots who crank the power way up, have their foot to the floor one second after starting the engine,never warm it up in the cold or run a winter front so it actually can come to temperature in the cold , etc get what they deserve. 6.0, 6.4 or 6.7, none of them will tolerate being abused. People treat it like a gas engine then are surprised when they have issues.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

🙌👊💯

[@AnimalOverland]

Bob...what do you recommend upgrading the intake with and why does it need upgrading for reliability? Thanks

[@AustenARW]

You're doing pretty well if all that's wrong with your 6.4 PSD is a bad fan clutch. Nice job on the repair.

[@paulrodrigues9603]

Great video. I did it on some E450 box trucks. I think they called it the cooling module or some shit like that.

[@Jerryisawake]

Great Video- best I have seen searching

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Thank u sir

[@rider9195]

I got no problem with that fan clutch removal. I use the lisle air hammer kit, saves time!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Werd!

[@michaelchan8915]

I have my Matco fan clutch removal kit that attaches to my air hammer. It's one of the best investments I've ever made in all my tools.

[@dadutchboyproductions623]

Great video, thank you for taking the time. Getting ready to do this on my 09 after the failing clutch tricked the transmission control module and ECM into starting and staying in high gear. So it sounded like a vortex and would hardly move. xD On a side note: when you reassemble the hot side air charger clamp is it necessary to apply any sealant?

[@adrianspeeder]

Love my 6.4L! Ordered new, and other than a clutch replacement, runnin' great! #ZF6 gaaaannnnnggg!

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Dayyyyum

[@brandongarcia2162]

Just replaced the fan clutch on my 6.4 video was a lot of help. Did everything properly drove for 20 miles and check engine lit up. Maybe it’s time for a 6.7 😕😅

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Lmao...u know it

[@MechanicTechnicianRepair]

Excellent work. My. Respect for you 💯 you the best 👌

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Thank budddy!!

[@MechanicTechnicianRepair]

Denada. Amigo

[@michaelchan8915]

Yup. Fan clutches on 6.4s are left hand thread. I'd be interested to know if you were getting any P0480 or P0528 codes to go along with your weird concern? I remember on the 6.0s I saw coming in, I would lose the fan speed RPM PID reading. Nonetheless, another great Friday night vid of yours, on a 6.4 no less. Keep up the great work bud.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Thanks mister, appreciate that!!🙌

[@jimmyaber5920]

Fan blade pitch and fan clutch thread pitch are the same. Learned that in the dawning days of serpentine belts

[@kenboersma6567]

Thanks you did an awesome job. Thanks for the help.

[@6104chrisn]

So I have an 09 6.4 The fan clutch sometimes stays fully engaged after the truck sits for a week or more. The longer it sits the longer it takes to free up and work as normal. If I drive it more often it works as normal. No codes nothing overheating that I can see. When I tow up hill and temps go up fan engages like it should. Thinking I should replace the clutch. Sound about right?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yepp most def bud!!!! On the right track

[@osrscletus6067]

You should make a vid of good aftermarket modifications vs for oem parts. Example like head bolts vs studs, egr delete vs non delete. Vgt turbo vs non vgt turbo. Like bulletproofdiesel vs motor craft oem vs dorman parts. Just a thought. Like to know what you think.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Hey thats a great idea!

Air hammers rule, I call mine The Winner!

Thanks for taking the time out of you flate rate schedule to make these videos. Why don't you use the ladder thing when working on these

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Dont like it...

[@DaFrostyG]

Gotta get that fan clutch removal kit that uses the air hammer big dog.

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Very interesting

[@hikerJohn]

My 2010 6.4L original fan clutch stays on for a while when I haven't driven it for a long time but it calms down after a mile or so. It's been doing this for about 8 year

[@hollywoodmarine8828]

I’ll have to replace mine…2022 6.7 with 3,500 miles. Not happy, but under warranty.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Damn engineering wants that!!!

[@imranabbasi7871]

Good job 👍

[@brentsheffield2968]

What brand 1/4 deep swivel sockets do you use? I see you using the heck out of them?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Cornwell

[@Itsa_Mea]

In your experience, have you had these clutches fail right out of the box due to improper storage? Supposedly if the box is stored on its side the oil inside drains out internally and the clutch malfunctions. I've heard of this over the years happening with the 6.0 clutches.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I have too!!

[@Kevina6000]

Very good Thank you!

[@3374jj]

Good god bro. Keep it up

[@hikerJohn]

Is there a computer diagnostic program a garage mechanic can afford to use on a spare Windows 7 laptop?

[@Yeehawriggin]

I got a 6.0 05 f250 and it makes a loud vacuum noise. Is that due to the fan clutch

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

A vacuum noise........prolly not

[@ryanmca1284]

What about the constant noise from startup. It’s like a vacuum/loud jet. Never turns off while driving

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Ya might wanna get that checked out

[@jamesbankhead117]

ARod, what is the cost to have this service preformed at ford dealerships? And can you even find a OEM fan clutch for a 6.4 anymore ?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I don't discuss prices here, sry

[@jamesbankhead117]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod - I understand, but do you know if there are any OEM fan clutches available @ your location ?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

In stock no. But I'm sure Motorcraft has em somewhere

[@tylermurphy4020]

Wow I can't believe there's any 6.4 power chokes left running.

[@niceguy4928]

Add kill devil diesel pistons, heads and turbo you have a great motor

[@KLRmurdercycle]

I had a 2010 cabelas 6.4. Bought it used. Run very well no leaks. Changed oil evey 4-5000 km. Had problems with the accelerator sensors. Changed 2 of them at a dealer. I still think that was part of the reason it rolled me in a ditch one snowy morning😪

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Aweeee

[@alvinhyman6838]

08 with 6.4 running strong with 245 showing . Can't treat these new diesel trucks like the old farm tractor , you got to maintain them because they can't and won't take the abuse that most diesel people think they should!!

[@ryantaylor4155]

My 6.4 is doing the same thing right now

Is it normal for a fan on a 6.4 to turn on as soon as you start the engine regardless of how hot it is? I had my fan clutch replaced a few months ago on my 2008 and the fan always turns on even when it's 10 degrees outside.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Maybe a lil but not screamin'

[@petersmith7140]

Owner saved some money with non factory parts, look how that worked out. People are funny, will spend 10s of thousands on a vehicle, but try to save on repair parts. Bet is does not have motorcraft filters?
