My truck has been doing this for the last 2 years. It started it randomly every once in a while, and now its always engaged. Thanks for the help.

[@cumminspower]

Had same problem while in Texas, on 2019 PS Diesel. Sounded like an airplane. 24;500 miles on truck. Took it to Ford dealer in Humble, TX. They got it in, diagnosed, and replaced fan clutch all within 2 hours. Excellent service dept. in my book. Side note, a/c unit shelled out at 35;000 miles, Green Ford in Peoria replaced under standard 36;000 mile warranty. Also death wobble temp fix from Ford was replace steering dampener as well. Fast forward and now 103;600 miles still no problems.

ARod - THANK YOU! My 2016 F450 started with this issue last week and I had no idea what was causing it. Came to your channel for answers and I found them. Installed the new fan clutch today and all is back to normal. Appreciate you!!

Excellent methodology, and procedure. And for me; I am impressed with the air chisel method. Great job and thank you!

I had this problem! Was on a trip from NY to Florida. Brought it in to a FL dealership. And they said that's how it was supposed to run. Doing 75 on the highway with it running at 2500 rpm, actual and desired pids were 2 different worlds. Went to my home dealership in NY and they took care of it properly.

Nice work! The only time my fan has run at that kind of speed was when I was doing a forced regen in the driveway. Sounds like the thing is preparing to take flight...

[@nativeoutdoors1780]

Did that at work on our 6.7 was awesome to hear first thing in the morning but I was more amazed at how well Ford has designed the engine to remain cool during the process. To go from Navistar 6.4 spitting flames and cooking cylinders 7 and 8 to having my oil temp sit at 180 during a stationary Regen, really amazing

THANK YOU. I have a totally different car but the same issue.

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

After five fan clutches, with only one that worked right, but got damaged in an accident, I just pulled the fan clutch off my Dodge Dakota yesterday. The electric fan comes at 180 degrees and shuts back off about 160 and keeps the engine cool. Of course it's winter, maybe summer will be a different issue. I don't tow heavy loads and rarely climb mountains. I swapped two under warranty and they seem to be just too tight. Years ago on the island of Lanai in Hawaii, I serviced the plantations radios and drive a few GMC vehicles and thought that GMC's were just that loud. In the last two years I realized how much the fan clutch is the problem.

Great diag. Great job, Our 550's all have underhood v-mac compressors .Sucks to be us.Got to remove upper shroud. We found on the earlier 6.7's the fan's themselves develope cracks in them around the mounting stud area, but they don't break apart but we will replace them. Doing the main water pump on a 16 power stroke right now, kinda hating my life at the moment ,the lower 2 LH bolts are nasty behind the plastic battery cable tray and the P/S hose.

Had the same problem on my 2022 F250, with only 3000 miles. Apparently there is a TSB about an evaporator switch. The dealer did that first, but the problem remained. They realized the problem was the fan clutch, and replaced it. Everything is good now, well…now my clearance lights are leaking 😬. I hope my F250 isn’t a lemon. It only has 4300 miles. Love the truck, hate the problems.

[@darinvanderpol3351]

Had this problem on my '20. Started at 2500 miles, finally fixed at 11,000 miles. Two tries from the dealer. First one they took the whole dash out and changed a sensor on the A/C. Didn't do it. Step two was change the fan clutch needed that fixed it. Was so annoying and loud I was ready to get rid of the truck. No joke.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Omggg

[@neilbrew8985]

Great video! Electric fan clutches are a bad Ford idea.

[@nativeoutdoors1780]

Idk I think it's a smart move, computer controls when it kicks on and off, meaning that Ford can turn it on to cool the engine before a Regen and then keep it running the whole time to keep the engine at optimum temp. Besides what's the better alternative?

[@jimmyaber5920]

They are used on all the big 3 diesels and on HD gas burner pickups. Ford and Ram started in 2003 with Gm doing it later, 2007 I believe.

[@rigsnrvs]

I have 800 miles on my ‘22 F350. The fan has been on for the past 150 miles. Took it to the dealer and they said is working as designed. Now I have an appointment at another dealership.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

They are looooooney. Ford wants that clutch, STAT

[@danwelder]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I purchased a used 2018, F350, and noticed this “howling” sound when cruising over 65mph on the highway, but not all the time. Recorded the sound (pretty loud and annoying) and my local Ford dealer couldn’t find the problem and told me it was normal! I’m able to do some work on my car and am thinking of tackling this job myself, but I noticed there are different ratings (standard, heavy duty, severe duty, and truck). I can find no explanation for the differences in each, so I can’t determine which one to use. Can you help? Thanks! - Dan

5:31 I thought it was tough to get to my fan clutch on my Dodge Dakota, but it's a walk in the park compared to this.

[@a2022z2]

Have had that happened several time on my 6.7. Most of the time when driving on high altitude. +7000 feet. No high oil temps , no codes……

[@riverwade]

I picked up my new 2022 f250 Powerstroke a few months ago and I think I've had this issue from day 1 but it wasn't as exacerbated until this past weekend when I picked up my new camper and struggled to get it home. I hope driving like this for a couple hundred miles didn't do any permanent damage. Less than 2000 miles on it and dealer confirmed it was this stuck fan and will get a new one installed tomorrow. I'm hoping I will notice how awesome a truck it really is because from the day I got it, I was never impressed and I chalked it up to me owning my first diesel. Also, seeing a bunch of 2022 trucks with this, maybe they had a bad batch of parts?

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I think so

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

One of those "use the force Luke" type jobs to get the fan blade back on.

[@jamjon85]

Holy shit that air filter might have been the problem 😂

[@CBKenyon]

Dealer told me that I was "hearing things" and that it would work itself out. Didn't mention that you could scope the fan rpm or anything else. 2021 did this from NEW and it's like I'm driving an air boat around. New clutch, here I come. Do it myself so that those jackals don't get my service truck out of service for a week.
