Learn how to change the fan clutch on your Mazda B3000 and Ford Ranger pickup trucks. The fan clutch replacement process will also work for almost any other car out there that has a fan clutch and not an electric fan.
What the fan clutch does is regulate the speed of the fan so that the engine can warm up fast, yet stay cool when its at operating temps (like how a thermostat regulates temp). When the fan clutch goes bad, it can lock up and spin at full speed depending on the engine rpm. The problem is that at high rpms your belt can break, the fan can break, and you engine makes a lot of noise.
This video will teach you how to change the fan clutch ($30) and save at least $150.

Very Through, you make great videos. You would make a great auto repair teacher 🙂
If the fan locks up due to the fluid movement how does it stay locked up when not moving? Broken Spring….
Chris, I bought a new fan clutch from autozone and since day one, which was a week ago. That sound is so loud when I first start driving. Once my truck hit 3rd gear, the sound goes away. No matter if I drive a short distance or a long distance. The fan is loud and soon as I start driving. Can it be bad right out of the box? Or is there something I can do to quiet it down? Also, my fan does not spin freely.
Anybody know where I can source a tapered carbon fiber dip stick for a 1959 North Korean snowmobile. Since these trade restrictions I can't get one from NK. Even a second hand one would be okay..
I don't think he rely care much beck then about us seeing his face and did not care about his hands getting darty
This seems to be a problem with garbage trucks in my area.
are you using aftermarket. not from the dealer? dealer wants $200. advance sells CARQUEST, is this the brand you replace?
Good
Just change the cluch oil
Wait… he didnt say HEY GUYS CHRISFIX HERE
I was scratching my head for 30 minutes just staring at that pulley until i found your video, thanks!!ðŸ‘ÂÂ
ChrisFix without da gloves
your gas tank is empty
This is the issue with my white toyota car because when it starts up it goes loud, but if you rev it up it doesn't go louder, When you start the car while your in the interior, it won't as be loud. And for whatever reason there's little white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe. The next problem might not be a problem to you but usually if you tried to turn it all the way to upside down to turn it, it'll only turn just a little or go straight, so you have to turn the steering wheel multiple times for the wheels to turn properly
I purposely drilled screws into my clutch fan to keep my car from overheating 😂
I have a question, doesn't that make it refrigerate better?
omw to watch every chrisfix video
7 years later, this fan finally gave up on my man’s off-roading time! Got amputated 😛
So your idler pulley is your tensioner?
That low key sounds like a semi accelerating
Hey noticed youre not as energetic. Something wrong or are you just tired? 😀
Put a pair of wings to each side of the car and the fan will produce enough thrust to fly.
sounds like a semi lol
I had the same problem. Wedging a pry bar between the pull an water pump gave me enough friction–easier than taking off pulley and making a jig, unfortunately. But, I did gain VALUABLE insights from this video. Thank you ChrisFix.
15:08 or when the ac is on
Well, you know what you got here. An engine that is obviously low on blinker fluid. It needs a new muffler bearing and of course a set of piston return springs.
Oh, and I almost forgot the quart of elbow grease…You're welcome America!
now he just hides the depression with the tv antics
Thanks Chris, you always deliver , keep them coming.
