Does anyone else notice cold starts on the 5.4L that their fan clutch rips and sounds like an aircraft? On cold starts it sounds like a plane taking off and then it goes to normal, it’s only in the 40s here in NY. I normally hear the clutch engage in the summer with the AC on pulling away from lights....you can hear it in the cab. Not sure why it rips on cold starts, or is it just me here?
Seems ford designed it to do that for some reason.
