Cummins Fan Hub Bearing Replacement (Dodge Ram) Step by Step

[@NIS_ONE]

Just what I was looking for, was going over my truck while I had it apart and noticed a rough spot in the bearing and didn't feel like spending $200+ on a new assembly but wasn't sure how involved the replacement process was. Well you sir just saved me $160 and alot of guess work. Thank you.

Glade it help you,

[@HotShot40LLC]

Perfect video!!!! Thank you for getting right on the subject and no nonsense. 👌👌👌

[@Glennfix]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jtaustin6514]

Top notch video but u lost me when u said u put a body lift on a diesel.... I'm hoping this was required to fit some sort of plow adapters or something to justify it

[@jessiej3991]

Hope you used anti-seize on the fan clutch nut that way it does not get " welded " on again! Btw good video

[@drush406]

Your truck is older I know. Anybody with a 2014 era. The clutch fan loosens Counter Clockwise

[@Countryliving_Drifter]

Thanks for the video. My question is, do these fans always spin? Mine runs full time. It doesn't matter if my truck is cold? I feel it shouldn't.i wonder if this is part of the reason I don't have good heat. Thanks in advance.

[@Glennfix]

Yes and no, The fan will turn all the time but it will turn slower when the truck is cold. It has a clutch and as the truck gets hotter it will lock the fan to the same speed as the engine. It could be a bad fan clutch. The fan should not spin the same speed as the engine when it is cold. The fan clutch go bad both ways. Don't spin fast enough and it over heats or don't spin slow enough and it does not get warm. One more thing you should check is the thermostat for the antifreeze, they can go bad both was also. Open or closed.

[@Countryliving_Drifter]

@@Glennfix thanks for the info Glenn. Thermostat is good. Prob a blend door issue I am having.

[@WillaHerrera]

Lol after you torched your fan clutch off I can't see how ANYONE would be surprised at how you got the bearing out 😆

[@trumanjensen9897]

I have a 91.5 cummins Dodge would you recommend fixing the Killer Dowel Pin. I don't know if it's been fixed. It has about 100 k thanks for any help.

[@Glennfix]

That is a good question, most people do it as maintenance.

[@JourneymanRandy]

Thats how I would do it. What is the part# for the bearing. Thanks

[@sjwalker5696]

Thank you for the video help me out a lot how is your bearing doing today let us know thank you

[@Glennfix]

Almost a year and still working good. Glad the video helped you.

[@Nza420]

Is the hub the same as the hub for a 91.5 - 93 cummins? Some idiot air chiseled the fan onto mine and damned if I can find a replacement.

[@Glennfix]

I am not 100% sure but I know Dodge made them the same for a lot of years.

[@bpdp379]

89-23 all use the same bearing.

[@TimTamsLOL]

Shouldn't hammer on the face of the pulley / centre to get it back into the bearing unless you support the centre of the bearing from the back! If the bearing is supported by the outer race and you're hammering into the centre you're smashing dents into the races... guarantee if you spin it by hand you'll be able to feel them

[@failingdisciple938]

Can the pressing be done with a ball joint press?

[@Glennfix]

I am not sure , I never tried a ball joint press

[@cowcatcher9186]

Yes both parts can be installed with a ball joint press but the hub can’t be pressed out with a ball joint press. The bearing is easily removed with a ball joint press.

[@gabecrockett6574]

Don’t forget folks, you must not hammer on the center section of the new bearing! When you press the fan hub back in be CERTAIN that the center of the bearing isn’t seeing any load!! Or you’ll end up stranded in the desert like me!

[@extremerc76]

Do you know the bearing part number?

[@bpdp379]

Geno’s Garage has them online.

[@efraingarcia4780]

What is the brand of the bearing.

[@Glennfix]

It is a NSK bearing. It has been on the truck for 2 years, about 75,000 miles.

[@joelunchboxx]

Dodge wants $2000 for the bearing hub assy. The only drawback to this is the availability of the bearing. If you own a 6.7 Cummins I would find one and keep it in the truck.

[@ferneyfoo53]

That was a great video!

[@aaronbigfishpreston9300]

Thank you for this video sir

[@nicholasglasby8825]

Counter clockwise man, no wonder you couldn't get it. A little penetrating oil, a thin 36mm wrench, and a big hammer, Or air chisel

[@Glennfix]

All these things will work, thanks for the comment.

[@hectorglover6392]

I'd like eto see how it was all done!

[@williamdavidson9009]

Very helpful, thanks

[@jtaustin6514]

Wtf is billy Bob Thornton doing change his own parts on a 2nd gen ? Seriously sounds just like him lol

[@adanvaldcontreras4283]

Great job..👍

[@jeremyking6046]

The main bolt has to be spun counter clockwise to loosen btw

[@WillaHerrera]

Jeremy King on this truck the nut actually comes off clockwise. I've never had one that didn't come lose. A good thing to remember is the nut comes lose by turning it the SAME rotation that the fan spins. If your fan spins clockwise your nut comes lose clockwise and vise versa. I have used a long steel construction stake and given it a hard whack while holding it against the clutch nut. I also don't tighten my clutches. I give them a spin on hand snug and let the resistance of the fan get them tight.

[@kurtisneilson3674]

This is the worst possible way to ever take this apart.

[@joseluise9008]

Hill Billy !!!!

[@Glennfix]

Actually I was born in Washington DC and grew up there. I just don't like to spend money.

[@timgodsey3095]

Son, you need to give your tools away and stay out of the garage.
