The clutch fan in my 03 yukon drove me nuts. Sounded like an industrial refrigeration unit driving down the road. Especially in traffic with the ac on. Went to the junkyard and pulled an electric fan assembly out of a Silverado HD for $50 and got rid of the clutch fan. Much quieter and never ever overheats.
Original!!!
@@RBTheMechanic
Clutch fan deletes are actually pretty common on the Tahoes, Yukons and Suburbans because quite honestly GM should have put electric fans in all of them but they're too cheap and want us to buy more replacement parts later. If anyone reading this goes to the junkyard to pull one don't forget the relay, plugs and wires. There are some videos on TH-cam if you want to wire it up yourself tho. LSXmatt has a good one. 👍
@@bornvillain6819I'm about to do the same with my 06 ram 1500. Sounds like an airplane going down the road
I have a Dodge Dakota. Correct that past a certain temp, the fan clutch switches into a higher gear to spin faster and keep the engine cool. Mine has to do that, cause the radiator on the Dakota is actually too small for a V8 (design flaw). Dodge got around it my using the high speed fan clutch, and with-out that it would overheat. But personally I like it. Makes me feel like I'm driving a big truck!
The sound effects were awesome bro made me laugh bubba keep it up
I hear you my man, great info, but if it hasn’t been changed in idk... 20 YEARS, then yes change your stuff. I just changed mine so😂. It sounded like a plane.
Hi man, saw ur video. I really need an advise. I got the same issue n I bought one from a dealer. Unfortunately, it's the same noise "a loud noise" as like before I changed. I have no idea what to do now I bought it for around 200 $.
WAIT wait... $200!? For a clutch fan?
Naw chief no way
Yep, it cost me 200 $
I am still wondering I have to go alll through this again with the dealer to replace it. But if I replace though I have the same issue I guess
My GMC Yukon did that with a new Fan Clutch the first 4 months and eased up to how it sounded originally..2003 Denali
Yeah go original
Yeah I go to the junk yard, find me an old time 4-6 blade solid fan and the correct length spacer, and then throw the clutch fan in the scrap bin where it belongs.
Then the old time 4-6 blade solid fan works forever more and never needs anything else done to it.
Did that to an old 1971 Buick I had that wanted to over heat because the fan clutch went out and never did anything else to the fan after that!
Ah yes great video of the noise we are all here to check if this is even our issue...
Put in original clutch from dealer I had issues with all after markets
Hearing the wind is a good thing, I miss the old fans without clutches
David Harden yeah but it was way too loud customer wasent happy
@@RBTheMechanic “I’m so unhappy my fan is working to cool my engine, I liked it better when it was quiet and my engine was overheating” -Customer
@@rotorav8 I use original stuff now had too many issues and complaints
Currently having this problem with my 03 1500HD. Taking it to shop soon for replacement. Just hope they buy AC Delco top brand
Gotta out in original
Like something’s about to take off like a plane 😂
Yeah
These fans are only activated when the heat reaches some temperature. If not needed the fan spins slow. Some problems are not kicking in or not stopping.
Dude, my fanclutch started spinning even when cold. Do you know what can be wrong with it?
@@MarkoFelix Depends on every model. Mine is trailblazer and Someone told me that the fan harness/ connector coming from the computer came bad. And you need to order one on Amazon or internet.
Mine is LOUD, and definitely spins even when cold. It can sit all night in the winter and will spin upon startup. Can you show exactly how to adjust the coil? Thx...
I’m having this issue on my 2015 Nissan Titan. I noticed about a week ago! I thought at first “oh no, exhaust leak” but it has to be the fan clutch. This thing sounds like I’m going 100mph when I’m taking off doing 10mph lol 😂!
Yeah did u replace it? Usully after markets r like this so if u need to replace it put original
@@RBTheMechanic I haven’t yet. My wife works for Nissan dealership. I’m going to take it down next week. So I’m hoping that fixes it. I appreciate the video
I've had five fan cluthes due to accidents and only one warranty replacement worked good. The rest were all too tight.
Unfortunately that ine was damged in an accident and I put a new one, too tight, replaced under warranty and that one is too tight.
Its frustrating.
I am going to remove this ine, see if the engine doesnt feel like its working harder to spin it and if so, I eill have to do something, becase this ine is noisy and feels like its causing the engine to work harder than it should.
Yeah I go original I had issues customers complaints
@@RBTheMechanic I pulled my clutch fan off today to see the difference. What a difference it was. It no longer feels like the truck is struggling against it. It sounds great, great pickup and glides along with hardly any gas.
I have the electric fan on it anyways. The engine ran awhile and when it hit 180 degrees, the electric fan switched on and then shuts back down when it was below 160 degrees.
The temperature gauge moves slightly up towards the halfway mark, but then within a few minutes of the fan coming on, it drops back down.
I plan to run it this way for awhile and check gas mileage. I'm sure it was eating more gas with the clutch fan.
Come summer or if I have to do any towing, almost never, or drive up to the mountains, it may need the clutch fan, but for now it's staying off.
I got 1 from auto zone and it's much quieter soooner than from the other auto parts stores works fine tested it all day.....
Nice u have luck!!
@@RBTheMechanic I bought a new fan clutch from auto zone on my o4 nissan I got it replaced by a mechanic but still runs on cold starts did they put on it wrong or you think I got a bad fan clutch
@@bash8387 there’s no putting wrong way after marker simply 100% suck go with original I ended up using original
@@RBTheMechanic if I want the original fan clutch I have to go to the Nissan dealership
@@bash8387 yupp parts department
**IM LITERALLY IN HAPPY TEARS TYPING THIS RIGHT NOW** I bought a 2006 Range Rover w/100k miles 7 yrs ago. Since a few Mon in I’ve been having this issue and always thought it was an exhaust leak of some sort. A few days ago I came across this vids and swapped out the entire fan w/clutch….I feel like I’ve purchased an entirely new truck! It’s so quiet and for the FIRST time I can actually hear that engine roar on my takeoffs. I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR POSTING THIS. THANK YOU!!!🥹
Welcome!!
Cocho,,,I have a truck with this noise problem it has a new fan clutch, but it does the loudest noise,,I don't want to change it cus I don't know if is gonna work or not,,any suggestions
U gotta put original one I tried all kinda of bullshit if it got adjustment try but other wise new clutch
Just put a new clutch fan in my 07 jeep commander now it sounds like a bus for a few minutes. Does this mean the new one is bad
It’s not bad it’s just grabbing too much after marker stuff dose this u should try putting one original from dealer
My fan clutch is really loud after i replaced it, the fan is much louder in the higher rpm’s and quiet in the lower rpm’s. It’s still really loud first thing in the morning when my truck is still cold. Do you think it could be a faulty fan clutch I bought?
U need to put in new original fan clutch
@@RBTheMechanic what do u mean original because the one I got was a oem replacement
@@Benmendoza1 original from the dealer not after marker oem
I replaced mine because it was making that noise . And the new one still makes the same gushing air noise lol , it took way too long to replace so I'm just going to deal with noise for now .
Did u put it original
No, it was from RockAuto. Was cheap like $40 . The one i replaced was making the same noise (No over-heating) just that wind tunnel noise around 2k RPM. @@RBTheMechanic
@@Rick-ho2ci oh ok I always go original cuz of this issue dose it have adjustment ?
@RBTheMechanic no adjustment, I'll order the original soon!
I had the problem on my truck that made it sound like dump truck and school bus driving down the road and also when at a stop light for too long and the ac is on the air would not blow cold air.. so I changed the fan clutch and nothing changed.. is there something els I should look into ?
U need to put in original clutch
@@RBTheMechanic The one I took off I should put back on?
@@shox9492 .... I would put an electric fan on. That's what I'm gonna end up doing with my duramax. It's loud and I lost about 4 mpg
My fan never shuts off on my Ram 1500 (06). Do you think it's a tight clutch?
These don’t shut down they only slow down accordingly to the thickness of the fluid inside
My Ford Explorer sounds like a plane is above me when i start it up and drive. But after about 20 seconds it sounds normal again. It’s only started today and it’s a lot hotter than usual. Is it the clutch or is this normal?
You might have problem with these did u recently change the clutch
@@RBTheMechanic no i haven’t, the only thing that’s different is the heat.
@@ylsfad3720 usually they stop blowing fan speed when they go bad not sure if this is ur issue
@@RBTheMechanic Do you have any idea on what my issue could be?
@@ylsfad3720 can u make a video let me listen to it post it on utube
But i want it to sound like a plane😂
Yeah lock it up!!!
When i start my 07 dodge it sounds like a semi
Same with my 06
Same with my 04
@@bsharp1117 I already fixed it finally😁
@@xVLADx47 how did you fix it ?
@@bsharp1117 I got a new clutch fan and replaced it and then it sounded normal
The vehicle industry did this on purpose its meant to damage your engine overtime if you see your temp gauge go up alil above half then it's being damaged
This should only be in commercial big trucks drum trucks
Ik heb een probleem met de monteur die het er zomaar aan vervanging toe heeft verwezen. Omdat deze niet los wou bij mijn bmw nu heb ik last van de overmate geluid en verbruik en verlies van merkbaar soeples van motor vermogen identiek het zelfde geloei alsof het een oude schoolbus is het lijkt alsof deze voor 60% gekoppeld mee blijft draaien
Deze is vervangen met termostaat
Multiriem
Wat kan ik doen
De bedrijf heb ik er om gevraagd deze na te controleren zij hebben waarschijnlijk er om heen geken maar de monteur weert de probleem af alsof dit normaal is
Wie heeft er ervaring mee hoe heb je de conflict met monteur verholpen
Wat is je advies

1999 F150 fan clutch replacement
Ok. Did u do it or asking for video?
Mine is having the same issue .. 😢.. but if turn of the ac .. the sound disappears
There’s another fan front of the condenser check that
@@RBTheMechanic did that already . Same thing.. it’s a Lexus gx 460
@@noblemgbokwere9494 yeah put the ac on and check front fan not sure this clutch fan would do that since it’s not controlled by anything
I have a 2011 Chevrolet Colorado and makes the high wind noise like you described when starting it while the engine is cold and goes off after a bit. Once the engine is warmed up, and restarting it, it starts and sounds normal. After a couple hours of it sitting, it makes that noise when starting it. It just started this last week. Could it be the fan clutch or do you think it could be something else? Thank you!
Yup it’s the fan clutch
I have the same issue on a Cadillac escalade 2003 5.3 engine I replaced clutch fan and also thermostat and nothing changed what else could it be
My 05 navigator (5.4) made a winding noise when i was going i to the freeway (accelerating)....the car isnt overheating......do you think its the clutch going bad??
I don’t think it’s going bad usually it would do that when it gets hot it will get stronger to turn the fan to make more cooling. Usually when it goes bad it has less of force
You should have shown what a clutch fan actually sounds like before replacing not a complete video many things sound different under the hood that could sound like a clutch fan why is it that everybody always misses showing the most important the actual sound noise LOL
It was too late for that but I still wanted to show people or just buy original clutch from dealer
I'll live with the noise better than overheating
Facts
I had this issue with my new one I floored the car a few times and it let go
Yeah brake it in !!!
I have a 1999 Toyota Landcruiser. When I accelerate the engine sounds like an airplane. As if, air is being blown out a hole in a hose in the engine only and not going through the exhaust system and no power. Could this be the issue? Car doesn't overheat or anything. Sometimes it runs quiet but sometimes it's blowing alot of air sound only.
It sounds like this is the issue have u changed the clutch ? Usully after marker clutches dose this
@@RBTheMechanic no I haven't. Started sounding like a dumpster truck recently when I accelerate and no power.
@@allabouttheoutdoorz it could be bad clutch or car getting too hot try it with ac off see the diffrence
@@RBTheMechanic it does that with ac off. I will change out fan clutch and see.
@@allabouttheoutdoorz u have to put in original after market will be worst all time
Oralè
I changed my fan clutch for a chevy silver 1500 the last one was making the same noise as your explaining i changed it and it dose the same noise
FUNKY GERMAN did u out in original from dealer or after market clutch
RB The Mechanic the original from the dealer
FUNKY GERMAN see if it has adjustment we installed original on Lexus 450 truck it was silent before we put in aftermarket it sounded So loud like dump trucks
Sorry i don’t know that much but adjustment in what way sorry for my ignorance
I got a crazy question since my 04 silverado has a fan clutch and it's always on does that technically mean that it takes longer to get warm in the morning since its cooling
When it’s dose this it’s cooling more because fan is working faster clutch is gripping more it’s kinds normal did u replace the clutch?
@@RBTheMechanic no i just never had fan clutch before always electric fans on all my vehicles
@@702xRyder yeah well these are loud shouldn’t be a problem tho
Sometimes the clutches fail in the on position causing too much cooling and reducing fuel economy. Sometimes they fail to not engage and not cool enough.
Ah
So you are saying if I just take that spring on the front of the fan clutch and rotate it clockwise (coiling it up more) it will not have a loud wind noise?
I have a 2005 ram 1500 hemi and whenever I accelerate the fans are really loud and when I stop it’s quiet and at times when I am going the fans stop and then after a while they start being loud again what do you think could be the problem ?
The clutch is the issue have u replaced it? Usually I need an original one if u did replace it
That's exactly the problem in my 2004 ram 1500 at the shop they changed the water pump and they recommend to replace the fan clutch as well, I wish never do that cause after I pick it up from shop I notice that loud air noise and doesn't advance like before, I tough it was normal cause it was cold but since then is making it every day even if is in morning or when the motor is warm already and it drive me crazy is like Im driving a school bus or a trailer, thank you for the info, I'll definitely take it back to shop and they need to fix it cause before it was working perfect.
Yeah sounds like dump truck passing by lol we’ll tell them to put original from dealer most likely they will have to do it again and again
@@RBTheMechanic thanks for the quick response and the advise.
Yeah I took mine back he put in another new clutch the sound is the same got damn bus or semi or tractor im pissed to my truck was better before,
@@theexisting1197 yeah same thing happned to me I adjusted it worked bit better but I needed up putting new one from dealer
@@RBTheMechanic i just ordered mine 30 minutes ago, SMH more money we gotta spend from getting the truck fix to getting the damn thing fixed again
“Like it’s bout to fly yuknow”😂😭
Haha
This is older video and I’m not sure you’d still monitor comments and answer them. But I have a 2007 LX470 and it’s had the same problem. I replaced the fan clutch with a Lexus OEM one ($143) from the dealer. It did not solve the dump struck roaring noise. I then had another OEM one from Toyota ($107) and an AISIN fan pulley bracket put in while having the timing belt and water pump done by a shop specializing in land cruisers. It still sounds like a roaring airplane, school bus or dump truck. This is really frustrating. Any ideas??
U sure the first one was from dealer original!! Some times people swap parts and return it I always go dealer and issue resolved
Yes I picked it up from my local Lexus dealer. The second one was put in by the cruiser shop and they ordered it from a local Toyota dealer
@@WiskiOdin see if it got some adjustment or if u can chnage fluid inside to somthing less of thickness
@@WiskiOdinwe’re you able to solve the problem ?
I have a 2002 Isuzu axiom and I replaced the fan clutch and it's ALWAYS sounding off and it's SUPER LOUD, do you know what it could be?
Usually after market clutch causes it if it got adjustment try it if not then u need original
@@RBTheMechanic I see, cuz it causes also like a decrease in acceleration also, when I accelerate it's super loud and have to kinda FORCE my car to run

@@jm2three then u might have to replace it with original one
Like a torque converter
Yup
@@RBTheMechanic hey. Will the torque converter in the transmission make the same sound. Like a whir. Or a blower belt on a top fuel dragster? My truck is doing it. Especially when it is hot outside. Don't do it until the transmission temp is up to the engine temp.??
@@hellwithit no that one is smurged in fluid so it’s diffrent this is clutch with fan on it
I just recently changed my fan clutch a couple days ago and since I changed it it’s been making that roaring sound but it’s always engaged could it be a bad brand new fan clutch or is it a problem and yea I know it’s annoying at times cus it’s really loud but temp stays good all the time
This is same for all after market fan clutches if they got adjust Kent u can try but I think it’s waste of time I from the day last had this experience always put in original from dealer
I noticed engine power loss when I changed the clutch. Am I wrong?
It can cause loss of power if it keeps the engine cool too much
@@RBTheMechanic before I changed it the truck had power now it's a little weak and loud as a school bus.
I liked the video and subscribed. I will post a video of my 2005 Canyon sounding like a damn jet about to take off. I recently replaced the clutch fan.
