Makes sense. That fan/clutch assembly is heavy for what it is....Same logic.........torque multiplier of the diameter of the fan(don't recall actual size).....say the fan is 14 inches in diameter......think of how much more force you can apply to bolt with a 7-inch pull bar vrs your hand only.
Also fans could be larger on trucks vrs cars or clutch itself pulls harder......not sure.
I've been debating on trying RL water wetter or Amsoil Coolant boost. So water wetter does actually work?Get some Redline Water Wetter and add it before you completely too it off. The stuff works to keep your engine a little cooler! I’ve used it on several vehicles now with lots of good luck with it.
Yeah I know what you mean. Atleast it's an easy ish fix. I'd also order another thermostat with gasket too so while ur in there you don't have to worry about having to lose all your coolant again because the t stat started leaking. I hate doin stuff twice lol. Atleast it's a cheap fix. I had cam and lifter failure last month. [emoji849] That was an I'm gonna burn you to the ground moment hahaha. I went lumpy cam and am happy again.
It cost me around 2g for everything. Cam non mds lifters, head bolts and gaskets, coolant and cam phaser limiter. That's not the whole list but you get the idea. That's Canadian $$ too so probly cheaper for you. Even with shipping I paid less online, I don't support local up here because I want the right part the first time not the third time.
Yeah I totally am. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]Brandon, are you mixing up posts by any chance?? All he replaced was his water pump, thermostat, and hoses, and then did a coolant flush. I’m thinking $150-$200 would be the most it would have cost him other than some broken knuckles, cuts, and frustration. Lol
It's hard on the phone sometimes. It was actually supposto be a pm! HahaIve struggled with that while replying to several posts this weekend at the same time. Lol
Oh, he also replaced his serpentine belt and tensioner or idler pulley.
No wonder it looked like fricken oil on the fan. [emoji1787]Holy **** I'm a *******! This whole time I thought the zerox stuff was pre diluted. I've been running 100% coolant in my truck for almost 2 years hahaha... Well I guess it didn't bother her too much hahahaha

Yeah I'm gonna top it off with distilled. To be honest. It doesn't look like it affected anything badly. Might have even help a bit in this TX heatLOL that's totally something I would do [emoji23]
You could always drain half the radiator pour and pour in some distilled water
No that's not right. Pure water cools better than any amount of glycol but if course water doesn't have the rust inhibitors or lubricant properties in relation to the pump. So even in cold climates you do not want to exceed the 50/50 ratio to protect from freezing as it reduces the ability of the cooling system to function at peak capacity.In the heat it’s a little better than with water added. If you put in a higher pressure radiator cap it will also help keep the engine from over heating as well.
