fan clutch

when is is 30 to 40* out how long can you run without a fan clutch or fan blade?

I'm coming on almost two years without a fan.
How long were you planning on going?

 

[smokin_stroker00]

couple miles back and forth to work until I get a new one probs Tuesday.
Lost both trucks in less than a hour today.

I don't think you'll have any trouble at all.
Like I said, I haven't run one in almost two years.
Even through summer. I won't go sit at the border
line-ups for three hours in the midst of a heatwave,
but for my one hour commute home from work it's OK.
Those Fords have huge rads anyways don't they? IIRC.
I know they're way bigger than the one I have right now.
Mines a four core, just not super wide like what you have.

Man you are a smart a##!!
love it, but seriously I cant keep my truck cool with a new clutch and a four core . does anyone make a low temp stat. And yes my new stat is from IH. Bleeder ball is free and all that.

Smokin you on fixed income? I got a good used fan clutch for shipping costs. Let me know, geez Im an idiot, "back and forth to work" duh. Anyway yours if you want it.

Hey typ4, weird eh? Mines the exact opposite.
I can't get it to warm up. No fan, winter front,
and still no worries of it over heating.
smokin_stroker00, you better keep an eye
on the temp gauge just in case, should be OK though.

I only have to go less than 2 miles each way. Autozone is supposed to have a new one in this afternoon, but on the way back from ordering it the fuel pressure regulator on the powerstroke blew the diaphram sending fuel everywhere. so I need to get some hardware for that and take it back to stock
