Electric is the route to go for sure. It’s a noticeable difference for sure when I removed my fan clutch and just ran the OEM electric fan instead.

 

Yeah, I noticed a slight increase in mpgs and throttle response.

 

I didn’t notice any MPG gains but throttle response a noticeable difference. Tho not like it matters too much. I could (before AWD) still roast both tires from a dead stop

 

Maybe try a hair dryer or very low heat gun setting on that silly stuff to loosen up??

Ok so i googled the sound that the fan clutch makes and its practically identical to the one my forest gump is making! Which makes me feel a hell of a lot better because i was worried it was going to be something BIG! As for the PS i need to clean the motor up so i can see where its leaking at, it dont really leak til the motor has been running and warmed up. Im so glad i found this forum and thank yall for helping.

 

another thing... i read up that you can remove the belt, crank the Durango and see if it still sounds like a vacuume if the noise stops you know that its the fan clutch. Has anybody tried this?

 

You can but don't run it for long because you'll have not coolant circulating.

 

thanks
