Mine sounded like a 737 heading down the runway when I accelerated from a stop.

Now it’s all quiet with the new one.

Years back I drove a taxi here in San Francisco. We had one of the Ford crown Vic's, that had such a worn out power steering pump customers could hear me from a block away. They had their hand up to flag me down. I stood out, when the other cabs just blended in. Made a lot of money in that cab. I can still here that pump 14 years later!

Well, I repeated much of the original trip that started this thread this weekend and the new clutch seems to stay engaged for awhile after those long climbs.

Driving the Explorer tomorrow. See what Tuesday brings.

Yelp, truck sounds like a 737.

I'm not going to replace the fan clutch everytime I drive from Dillon to the Eisenhower Tunnel.

It’s not super bad, but it is pretty annoying. Even on the highway when it kicks down a gear, the fan is engaged.

I feel like the last time it was engaged more at lower speeds.

Tom, bite the bullet, and put in a quality electric fan! We're too old to keep swapping out these inferior parts! What about the one we talked about last month?
