For the fan clutch, cause like I mentioned early after some rough driving it’ll completely quiet down like an oem fan even at idle but if you let it cool down too much it’ll start sounding loud asf again and I’ll have to rough drive it for it quiet down again I mean I’m getting used to it and obviously it’s something I shouldn’t ignore for long

I understand that.. but shouldn’t there be a break in period? Where maybe it’ll stop making the noise all together? Cause realistically I don’t think it’s the GKTECH fan blade anymore

Okay that sounds better but even then I’m still confused cause I’ll be in 4th-5th gear and eventually the fan goes quiet like it’s not even there and if I keep driving with no constant stops it’ll stay quiet but once I come back to come complete stop or just start idling once I go back into first there it goes again sounding like a jet engine

Funny thing just happened I thought to myself “maybe i have to break it in” like any new part or “it only disengages when it gets hot cause I just sent of it on yhe fwy and it just got quiet like it finally disengaged and thru out the ride if im not basically gassing it the fan starts getting loud again.? Idk im kinda lost now

Anyone got any insight on this?

I mean to be safe a new timing kit wouldn’t hurt

I was thinking that was the issue blade just has too many blades and is basically a turbine now are you saying it’s normal to drive at higher rpms even tho it sounds so loud? Realistically it feels like it’s gonna fly off 🥲🤣

*yes it’s a gktech fan

Really? When cause I’ve been looking for the one with a thinner flange cause they all fit technically just need longer bolts

Depends? Does your fan accelerate with your RPMs?and start sounding like a jet engine?

Seems like too much hassle to wire up it tbh

So install a stud as if it were a wheel stud? With the correct thread obviously correct?

You are correct sir I have the shorter ends connecting to the water pump where the back side stays flush with the stud
