Having the same problems with my f350 I'll check out this. Thanks

[@mightymoeexcavating754]

Grab the fan with the engine running, u still got your fingers! Thanks for sharing

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

You damn right...shit was spinnin in slow moe

[@Carolinakid8643]

Very interesting problem, seems like a rear problem but it's fixed and out kicking butt and taking names. Great video ARod!

[@screamindemon811]

Yup 6.0's done that, 6.7's heard if it never had to do it. Have to admit the 6.7 has been a pretty good engine for FMC but not a difficult fix, as usual solid work man... and about time we have a secret location video, its been a while!

[@jerryknorr679]

Very good a nice tip to keep my eyes on. Thanks chief

[@rudystone2324]

My 2013 F350 6.7 overheats, BUT ONLY when I'm towing my 5th wheel up a steep grade. It only has 70,000 miles. Coolant looks good. No leaks, No codes when plugged in.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Kinda confused...is this a statement a question?? If your needing assistance you have to visit my email.....

[@emnauelcruz8739]

Your videos are the best keep the good work

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Lol...Thanks Emnauel for stoppin by!

[@ryandavis4163]

My 2011 overheats going uphill on rough roads only but runs great every other time. Hopefully this will narrow that down for me

[@Adrenacyde]

Had a 2012 in two months back that the fan would not match the desired commanded RPM using the IDS in Datalogger mode. If I recall, there were only two codes. Both of which relating to the fan command/control. Replaced the fan clutch, and another one rolls out the door. Keep 'em comin'. Yer biggest fan, -Adrenacyde P.S. Keep yer damn mittens out of the fan ya Meatwhistle...

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Hahahahah thanks bud

For a second I thought you were gonna lose a finger damn

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

[@aliabdallah102]

I wish I had the money for anything really, even a 6.0

[@LynxStarAuto]

Maybe it is because of the area, but here in Miami, these fan clutches fail all the time. I guess the heat and humidity here really brings out the weak ones. This particular truck wouldn't idle longer than 10 minutes here without boiling over it's coolant.

[@jeralddegraw6069]

Very helpful...THANKS :-)

[@BIGDAVE5352]

I have 2 2015 6.7l trucks and both fan clutches failed at the same time! One at 3500 miles and the other at 34k. One truck goes over the road and the other is local here in South Florida.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Awesome, thanks for sharing

[@joebaker5488]

hoping you can point in right direction...2016 6.7 ford. fan clutch issue i think. no codes cant command w scanner, only overheats pulling trailer up mountains, looking for wiring test for connector at fan clutch cant find one. reason fan still has resistance, and this will be 2nd fan clutch this truck has seen if it is clutch would really like to verify b4 firing the parts canon at it. first time it had a code i forget the number but the viscus fluid was also running down the blades

Joe if you need diag assistance you're gonna have to email me and hit my venmo

Thought u we're going to lose some fingers touching that running fan

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Cmon mann

[@aaronbays4]

I know on these trucks, to do a lot of service procedures you have to take the cab off to work on the back of the engine. How on earth do you do that on something like an F550 bus conversion? You know, where the bus body is integrated into the windshield and there is a custom door with steps on the passenger side.

[@aaronbays4]

IE Something like this POS that has the 6.0 Powerstroke. How on earth would you get the cab off to replace/service the engine? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnPOpIZqd9-dbdE

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yea, ya dont homie

[@deanspear4616]

My 2015 6.7 show 0 rpm and 0 percent on scanner with AC off on scanner. As soon as you turn AC on fan goes to 750 to 1000rpm and 35 to 50 percent. Shut AC off back to 0 again. With AC OFF driving if temp goes to 225 fan will engage and off at 220. Is this normal?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

How much u lookin to spend. My time + $$$=answers

[@michaelchan8915]

A very interesting video this time around. I just had to replace my fan clutch on my 2016 F-250 back around last September I think. But mine was replaced for totally the opposite reason. It was fully engaged all the time. It was not only a nuisance driving it like that, but downright embarrassing due to how loud it was. Thankfully, replacing it is not a big deal at all, as you already know. And thankfully mine was covered under warranty. A little off topic, but I notice the F-550 trucks use a cast iron EGR housing, versus the aluminum ones on the F-250/F-350 trucks. I wonder what the reason for that is?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I duno all cab chassis are like this. Different turbo, egr, catalyst...etc...ill find out

[@Adrenacyde]

I know they are probably trying to save weight wherever they can (pickup application), but perhaps it has to do with the Medium-Duty trucks being used primarily for commercial/heavy payload+towing pushes the aluminum past it's reliability point?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

That could very well be true..!

[@biggrantlewis]

I have a loud noise from clutch fan (clattering sound) Fan/clutch looks like it’s not fully engaged (slipping) with loud noises?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Clutch tyme....

[@darrellparsons246]

Fan clutch went out on 2015 F350 6.7L Power Stroke at 90,000 miles. At what temp should the fan clutch engage? And is it Oil temp or Primary cooler temp engage fan clutch?

[@GtGills]

I got a 2012 6.7 with 110,000 miles and I’ve been threw 3 fan clutches already the first 2 got stuck on full blast sound like a jet under the hood and this last one is like the one in the video not engaging so what do you think could cause all of these fans to go bad? Also every fan I put in is a ford motor craft from the dealer

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Wow, batch of bad clutches

[@GtGills]

I hope maybe 4th time is a charm

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Maybe goto a diff dealer. Maybe their seed stock is screwed

[@catfishnet]

How much did they charge you to change it? My cluch is bad on my 12 mod. f350

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I did it

[@bradmcleod8193]

I have a question. 2016 ford 6.7 of course. So I’m deleted and both modules removed from frame rail connectors clean and die-electric grease. I have code u0106 and not blowing fuse 36 under hood.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Probably time for a GPCM....

[@bradmcleod8193]

Ok thanks for answering that.

[@blakemyers3716]

I have a a 2013 6.7 that I just had the fan clutch replaced because it went bad but I am over heating really easy while towing up hill. I've replaced the thermostat, coolant, new intercooler pipe with air temp sensor. Any suggestions??

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

What kinda fan clutch did u buy

[@blakemyers3716]

PowerStroke Tech Talk w/ARod I had it installed by the ford dealer so I’m assuming it’s oem.

[@MrArticeric]

Dumb question, I have an 11 F450 with 211k miles throwing a P20B9 code and ford says it needs a new fan clutch. I went out to my truck and spun the fan just like in the video and it spins by hand in both directions with not a lot of resistance. I have a new fan clutch ready to put in just wanting to make sure that I’m replacing the right part. Thanks a bunch

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Buddy maybe you had two problems.....that P20B9 is a in tank DEF heater problem, has absolutely nuthin to do with your fan clutch. Those are usually like P0480 series codes...

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Not dumb at all 👍🤝

[@MrArticeric]

Lol I guess I got my codes mixed up, ford told me the truck is throwing 3 codes. The P20B9, and 2, P042E codes. Ford said fan clutch, def heater and an EGR valve stuck open. I have the fan clutch ready to install and plan on making the truck off road use only for a full delete.

[@kennygray8315]

Will this problem stop AC from working coolant condenser

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

The fan needs to cool everything....if the fan isn't working......then....

[@vikp6115]

Well if you just started the engine and fan is not spinning , I thought thst truck has electric fan , coolant and oil temperatures need to get to certain temperature in order for thr fan to engage, also if you using air-conditioned, 3 things trigger fan, oil temp , coolant temp, and air-conditioned, ? So if u start ur truck and you can stop fan right away it's because engine not hot enough and ecm didn't engage fan yet

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

No buddy. The fan clutch was bad

[@vikp6115]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Well it could possibly be , it's just I know u can stop a fan with ur hand when u start your truck on cold 🥶

Thats the thing, u shldnt be able toooo

[@rvadventures]

Just had a cat get stuck in my fan and it took out the fan blade, radiator and cat, but now my fan is racing and has a slight shake until I hit the gas then it evens out( shake only) but then after a few seconds it shakes again, ( rough idle ) is what I mean by (shake). Do you think it wasted (cat) the fan clutch?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

U need to replace the fan blade. It is balanced & now its not...

[@rvadventures]

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod I replaced the fan itself,the radiator and the belt. I didn't replace the clutch only because I didn't see any damage, but now I have a light shake at idle and a loud screaming fan!

Ahhh gotcha misunderstood. Ya id prolly swap that clutch out

@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod yeah I wasn't thinking I guess, I just didn't think I'd have to change it. That stupid cat cost me $1200+ and cost him/her it's life. Stupid feral cats

[@keithshamblin3444]

My 2015 F550 Cab/Chassis (Motorhome) overheated for the 1st time while towing up a steep grade and went into limp mode. After it cooled down I was able to turn around and get her back home. The strange part is there are no codes ? The fan is acting just like the one in this clip, no resistance, and I can spin it backwards while the engine is running. I would replace the fan without hesitation except for the fact that there are no codes. Any ideas ?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

You answered your own question it's the fan just like you saw in the clip

I got mine replaced on my 6.7 ford it got stack, would spin with engine ram so it sounded like airplane was taking off , now I have another problem it won't engage

[@harrstew12]

What is the coolant temp or engine oil temp that causes the fan clutch to fully engage?

Dont have those values in front of me...this 1 was busted however
