2017 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi Clutch Fan Delete

This video shows how to remove the factory clutch fan and stock electric AC fan, and replace it with the larger V6 model electric fan. This applies to all 09-up Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi trucks and is a cheap and easy way to pick up another 8-10hp/tq and clear out some space under the hood.
I left out a very important piece of information in the video. The clutch fan nut is reverse threaded, so you need to spin that nut clockwise to take it off.
2 options for the V6 Replacement fan are the Mopar unit which is Part #55056851AG, or TYC Part #622320. The Mopar fan costs about $400, but the TYC replacement is only a $100 fan.

So you spend $400 on a OE fan then have to buy a $400- 500.00 tuner to get it to work right . on top of not being cover under your OE warranty to gain maybe 5 to 10 hp i well keep my 1k in the bank for that mod . i want to see some real numbers on this i want to see it run on a dyno befor and after with the truck up to temp. I am not saying it wont help but true dyno numbers dont lie you can do a lot to mod the. 5.7 but there are only a few true things that gave you more hp. At them end of the day . i always tell people show me real numbers before and after i spend my hard eared money and time on something that may not do any thing . i want Moes to reach back out to me to show us some realy numbers.

How is the engine cooling performance. Same better or worse?

Nice review . Thanks

[@xcali3ur561]

So you remove everything that REAL engineers designed for this motor? 🤔 Na, I’m good 🤪

[@_JEBUS]

It's a cheap mod but needing a tuner makes it expensive lol

[@Rypie89]

Dodge should have an electric fan on it in the first place. Clutch fans are outdated now. They already have an electric fan in there for the A/C condenser so why couldn't they just put a bigger fan with variable speeds?

[@brown5252]

Tip of the day! DON'T LET THE FAN DROP ON YOUR FACE! lol

[@godzilar35]

What temperature do I need to set it to?

[@bobsisic5714]

What is the TYC version

[@chrisruiz1215]

I'll stick to the clutch

[@charleslincoln5357]

This guy so chill lol

[@heavymetalcowboy5359]

I did this swap last night. Had an issue with breaking the fan nut

[@RobertPopkin1]

Just did this, after watching the vid. Went with the TYC fan for $99, took 30 minutes or less. Thanks for the vid

[@20jedidiah09]

I did the conversion on my 2017 Ram 2500. The fan fits

[@dharm3974]

Thanks, man! I have to do some major work on a truck, and I was getting nervous about seeing the struggles some people seemed to have had with the clutch fan... this has eased some anxiety, I'm just gonna go straight to this technique. ;)

Great Video!

I’m going this route when the parts come in, im full bolt on and VVT HPT+ cam kit from Moe’s and running a 160 thermostat. Truck is starting to heat up with this south Tx heat! And tuned by Greene on 93 octane regular temperature is about 185 -195 at speeds of 75-85 daily driven truck

you are professor in RAM loved your site and work

[@jasontondre82]

Since the fan shroud separates at the bottom Can you pull the fan shroud without pulling the fun clutch assembly? I need to get to and replace my electric fan.

@Moe's performance, did you notice any cooling issues by having the vararam and the v6 fan? I just installed the V6 fan today and my vararam is coming monday.
