2001 RAM 1500 5.9 Noisy warm up question
Hi, I got a 2001 ram 1500 5.9 gas 2W that makes this loud indescribable noise while warming up. Is it normal? I know my 02 4.7 durango does it too but not this loud. It goes away after a couple minutes of driving or by reving it like on the 1st vid. Any tips will be greatly appretiated. Thanks

You are aware that the fan clutch stays fully engaged for a bit then releases don't you? Hard to tell from the video but start the truck and keep the rpm at around 1500-2000, It will take around 15-30 seconds or so until you hear it release. Is this what you are hearing? Release time may vary with temp and condition of the clutch.

I believe its the fan clutch, it sounds like a jet taking off when I rev it and the fan is always turning it never stops. I was thinking about changing it but they are big $$. So after hours of reading not to go with aftermarket.. I decided to just same me some cash and install an E-fan instead.. So I will concentrate my next couple days reading about it..
Thanks.
BTW has anyone reading this done the E-fan mod??

Well since the engines were designed to handle the "stress" put on it by the fan and power of the exploding gas in the cylinders and the extra weight of a trailer etc and the engine and water pump will typically go for more than 100,000 miles before needing any attention, it seems illogical to install an electric fan that will flow less air than a stock one will . That's similar logic to exchanging the entire engine for another one so it's other parts don't wear out . Robbing Peter to pay Paul isn't practical.
