Quick question, I was out playing yesterday and broke the electric fan on my 02” 4.7 I am just wondering if it will hurt my tuck to be driving around for a week until I can get it fixed, the weather is supposed to be no higher than 60” all week. I think I will be okay but I just want to make sure I am not going to damage anything else if I let it go for the week.

 

if you still have the clutch fan you are fine. the efan dosent turn on untill 212F.

 

I'm assuming you don't have the clutch fan because of the question. Just watch the temp and try not to stop moving.

 

I do have a clutch fan on the front of the motor. I am used to dealing with older models that do not have the electric fan on the back of the raidator and a clutch fan on the front of the motor, so thats why I'm asking the dumb question about the elctric fan on the front.
Thank you very much for the answer to my question.

 

97 DAK 2wd 3.9 V6. This may not be the right thread but here goes: It makes a sound that could best be described as the fan blade hitting the shroud (but it's not - I looked). The engine light is on. All pulleys and the belt were tight - doesn't seem to be a bearing somewhere. It has something in front of flywheel that is possibly electric fan. Is it possible that that has a bearing problem (or what)? This happened about 6 months ago and then quit.
Thanks,
Steve

How could I forget, the temp gauge is radical. After startup it went to 260 deg, then started down quickly to slightly above normal. I checked the coolant - it was full and barely warm. In the 10 years I've had it, the temp always came up to just under 200 deg - no matter how hot the day.
