Fan ?

[Rado]

2015 4x4 Quad Cab V6 Pentastar !
I know this has been talked about before but can not find the threads !

1: The fan is 2 speed ?

2:What temperature should speed 1 come on ?

3: What temperature should high sped fan come on ?
I know these V6's run hot run hot BUT when I got home today, Let truck idle in my driveway to get temps up. open the hood temps around 215+ NO Fan
Where shoule the transmission and oil temp be compared to coolant temps ?
Temp went to 230* the fan twitched 2 or 3 times then started, BUT IMO does not seem to be really fast ! Anti freeze level OK

Thanks

Pop hood, watch motor and turn on AC full (MAX), fan should come on, if not sensor or something not right

I thought the thermostats were 200-210 for V6.

If running hot, U could consider putting in a 180 degree T-stat... But U R in Maine, and the higher engine temps in winter would be a must.... Hmmmmmm...


All above IMHO, I honestly hate 200 t-stats, prefer 180, but that is a personal preference, and I am a Boird, not a mechanic,. just a saying.

Birdman yea these do run hot ! Just checked w/Reg. AC on after a few seconds fan kicks in, Then Max cool a few seconds then fan So good there ! When I was idling w/o AC on the temps hit close to 230 w/no fan :O then fan kicked it :O.. I would guess w/o AC on the fan should kick in around 200/205 ??? Hope the gearheds chime in. I do not want to waste a trip to the dealer lol Thanks for your help it gave me a few things to check out first

Makes me think of the old stuff, way back when. When yer car ran hot, you opened all da winders and turned the HEAT on hi, LOL. Maybe U need to run with AC on all da time so U know dat cooling fan running. I am assuming you have the 800W electric fan, FWIW, 19's got a 850W




ADDED: Hee hee, heard Navy likes all thangs hot, LMAO, sure was hot in GITMO. Sorry RADO, could not help it, LOL

So anyone know what temps the fan comes on ???

 

[turkeybird56]

About everything I have read in the last 10 minutes says T-stat opens basically at 209. I have not found ne thing on when fan kicks on. But a lot of folks have gone down to a 180 T-stat putting their running temps in the mid 190's, but U would have to retune a lil with the 180.. Sorry, could not find ne thing on actual fan start
