I have been scouring the threads for awhile now and can't find a honest "how-to" clutch fan delete. I got the logiest of it but how do you actually do it step by step?

 

big *** adjustable wrench and some rope.... or some otehr way to keep the fan from moving. it doesn't really need a how 2 because its just unscrewing the fan lol

 

this is how i did it
step 1: relieve tension (take off belt)
step 2: place c-clamp on pulley to hold it in place (will wedge between water pump)



step three: use a big a$$ wrench to remove fan


u may need to use a sledge if fan bolt wont loosen

 

i did move my c-clamp to a different spot on the pulley

 

does this make your engine run a quite a bit hotter and does it really make a difference?

 

the biggest increase is not having to listen to the fan anymore. Your truck will be fine unless you a - have no electric fan, or b - live in a really hot area.

 

+1 to that it hasn't been that hot here yet gonna be 98 tomorrow so we will see there but user did this and he lives in Texas so ill be fine

 

Notice any increase in mpg so far? Probably nothing measurable, but just wondering. I'll be taking mine off once I'm home for the summer.

 

i just turn on my ac then the fan will kick on if the temp starts to climb.

 

Yea the AC thing works I haven't noticed a increase in MPG this is the first summer I've had mods on my truck and I seem to be getting bout 18.5 MPG don't no what I got last year during the winter I got 14
