Hey guys,
I purchased an 07 1500 5.7 4x4 with 55k miles on it about 3 weeks ago and I'm loving it! One question I had was how does the cooling fan work on these things? I know they are attached to the rotating assembly of the pulleys/belts, I'm assuming on the end of the water pump? Anyways, sometimes when I start it up it will have a loud whirring sound like the cooling fan is just blowing a ton of air under the hood and it stays like that for probably 10 minutes after driving it before the noise settles down to normal. Other times it doesn't make this noise at all. It doesn't run rough or have any CELs and if I was deaf I wouldn't even know it was doing it. It doesn't seem like a problem I was just curious if other people's trucks do this also or if maybe there is a clutch in the fan that is going bad or whatever. Any opinions, help, etc. is appreciated!
