Clutch Fan Delete

[Hookie]

So, if I remove the clutch fan, will the AC fan kick on at a certain temp even if I don't have the AC turned on?

All I know is my mother in law blows a ton of hot air in the wrong direction consistently and her fan blades are right messed up
Well, your setup can be altered or removed…… the in-law has no hope!

Most everyone who removed the Clutch fan, installs the V6 electric fan and removes the 5.7 AC stock fan. Trading two of one.

Yes. 220° which is not what you want. If you aren’t reprogramming or tuning it is best to leave the clutch fan in or leave the ac set to on.

Good Evening,

This is Circuit Guys wife. I am sad to report that he passed away of a heartattack on 8/21. He was a sickly man but it was very unexpected. My son was able to pull up the forum and I am overwhelmed by the messages he has in his inbox. I see he has helped many on the forum. He was a smart man. You could tell him the make and model of a car and tell him what the vehicle was doing and he would tell you exactly what was wrong. It was amazing. Don't know how he did it but he did.

For what it's worth, the fan you have already on your '17 is exactly the same as the fan you're looking to replace it with, I think they upgraded it on the '14 and up rams. I just did this on my '18, I purchased the V6 fan and other than a little bit better shrouding, it's the exact same motor. Honestly all you need to do is get rid of the clutch fan, the electric fan will work fine. If you wanted to go with a 180 degree t-stat then you'd probably want a tune to set the fan kick on temp lower. I can tell you with very spirited driving in hot temps my '18, with a 180 t-stat NEVER gets hot and the stock fan is more than enough to cool the motor.

Hello James. What tuner did you use to set the temp on your eFan? I’m trying to do the clutch fan delete on my 2015 Ram 1500 5.7

Jay Greene for me, any tuner can do it though.

Get HP Tuners and do it yourself.

I don't know if you're aware of this,but you'll need to either have your original PCM unlocked or buy another unlocked PCM for your 15,before you'll be able to tune it.

Yes it will, around 220 degrees.
