We haul a 39.5ft Keystone Raptor 5th wheel with a Bullet Proofed 03 6.0 F350. The electric fan was screaming during towing and steep grades and always running hot. When I changed out the elect clutch 3yrs ago for the 7.3 clutch all that changed our lives, Great Fix!!!

I have a 06 f350 being a used for portable restroom service in FL. it runs for 10 plus hours a day and idles a lot while cleaning units, which very's. I I always hated for it to idle in the summertime it would be on the hotter side when it idled for long periods of time. I did this fan swap a year ago and was the best thing I did to this truck. I also had a 05 that always ran hotter then then my 06 wish I knew about the swap sooner for that truck, before the motor let go on it.

There is a middle option as well with the OEM snow plow fan clutch. It engages earlier and more robustly than the stock one for better cooling while still talking with the ecm and not setting any codes.

Thanks, guys. Good to know. I really appreciate your videos.

I did this to my 6.0 along with a bullet proof oil cooler and mishimoto rad. Best investment I ever did in that truck.

[@rogerdominguez15]

I did this to my truck about 8 years ago. Not a lick of trouble.only thing is truck sounds like a jet engine taking off

Glad it's not just me who's had issues with the electronic fan control when the truck is working its butt off.. yeah the CEL is annoying, but the old style fan clutches just work better in the South in the long run. Worth the retro-retrofit if that makes any sense

Great video, thank you.

My 6.0 was running anywhere from 190 to 215 with a failing electric fan clutch.. It was all over the place all the time.. I recently installed the 7.3 old school fan clutch. Around town it runs 176 to 182 at all times and towing on the interstate the highest I’ve got it was 191.. I was concerned at first the fan stayed engaged for like two days everywhere I went, then it started working normal and it’s been good ever since

The OEM F/C also helps it reach operating temperature faster on startup along with the other things mentioned in the video. I haven't noticed a difference in Fuel Economy. The A/C does blow colder i noticed and it also makes more wind noise at low speed. Its not extremely loud but its definitely noticeable. I have an 06 F350 and tow cars from So Cal to SLC. Overall EOT's & ECT's are lower.

Great review & trouble shooting. Back in racing days we had variable pitch fans that would change with rpm. Your absolutely right with the shroud that encloses blade. Must be compatable with shroud. Also a concern is the air flow not being blocked by "stuff". Needs to flow uniform to engine compartment. Infrared camera shows areas where flow is restricted. Great job guys. Can't beat experience! My next truck will be from Georgia (hint, hint). Being retired no more wasting money on new. Your experience has value you can't get at a major dealership. Keep doing what you do best!

Mike at the end lol. Keep it up guys.

[@Astrand1]

Love all of the content. Keep it coming. Side note what does Mike have in his shirt pocket? A scanner or radio? Seems he always has it so I’m assuming it’s something important.

[@jerrymerryfield6551]

You guys do great work

[@michaelbarnes1747]

I put one of those on my 6.0 2 years ago from bulletproof diesel got rid of the junk electric fan clutch I also studded mine when I bought it 4 years ago

[@dwthomle]

I have designed a bracket that solves the fan wire problem permanently.

[@davidbrewer8402]

Bill might call me a hack job but I did the 7 3 fan clutch and removed the inner fan shroud that bolted to the motor drove it all summer coolent temp never went over 190 and ac still worked good

[@CrimeVid]

Nothing much wrong with a vicious coupling they wear out, but slowly !

[@PatrioticRottweiler]

Do you know where I could buy a dummy plug that is installed when you remove the OEM electric fan clutch and switch to the 7.3 style mechanical fan clutch. You briefly mentioned it in a previous video. It supposedly cancels the soft code when the electric fan clutch is removed.
