Q: How to service the cooling fan shroud on gasoline engines on Ford F-350 Super Duty?
A: The first step to service a gasoline engine cooling fan shroud includes placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL and hoisting it to work on it. The first step requires draining the engine cooling system while you take off the Air Cleaner outlet pipe. Start the servicing process by disassembling the quick connect coupling of the upper radiator hose using the retaining clip followed by removing two bolts to set the power steering reservoir in place correctly tighten to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) while reinstituting it after service. The radiator degas bottle coolant inlet hose requires separation followed by removal of the cooling fan shroud position retainer which will be set aside. You can remove the bolt attaching the four-wheel-drive differential vacuum valve on vehicles with 4WD only before placing it aside for reinstallation with 8 Nm (71 lb-in) torque. Moving the engine compartment wiring harness requires you to disconnect the four position retainers. Press the five retaining tabs on the cooling fan shroud while rotating it upward to activate the position retainer lock. You need to complete the procedure by following the removal guidelines backward. Install the four engine cooling fan shroud bolts while tightening them to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).
Q: How to service the upper cooling fan shroud on the 6.4L Diesel on Ford F-250 Super Duty?
A: Draining the cooling system must be the first step in servicing the upper cooling fan shroud on the 6.4L Diesel. The next step requires extraction of the right-hand charge air cooler tube. First disconnect the electrical connection of the vacuum solenoid from it or from the upper fan shroud retainer. Subsequently remove the wiring harness retainer from both sides of the upper cooling fan shroud. Start the service on the upper cooling fan shroud by disconnecting the radiator-to-degas bottle hose from the degas bottle then remove the vacuum hose connector when present. After loosening the clamp disconnect the left-hand CAC tube from the turbocharger before tightening it to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) retightening. The upper radiator hose must be separated from the radiator through disconnecting its spring clip while simultaneously keeping both components in proper alignment for new installation. Tear the coolant pump-to-fuel cooler hose from the power steering reservoir before removing the fasteners that secure the power steering reservoir to the upper fan shroud and fasten both components to 8 Nm (71 lb-inch) when reinstalling. Begin by disconnecting the radiator-to-degas bottle hose found at the radiator before unfastening the bolts accepting the upper fan shroud. The right-hand side of the part needs to be raised first to perform unattachment from the vehicle before tightening all bolts to 7 Nm (62 lb-inch). Last announce the completion of the installation by performing the removal process in reverse order.
Q: How to Service the Fan Shroud and Cooling Fan Motor on a 2.3L Engine on Ford Ranger?
A: During cooling fan motor and shroud servicing of a 2.3L engine you must disconnect the ground cable from the battery if A/C exists. Begin by disconnecting the electric cooling fan electrical connector when possible and then moving to disconnect the ACL outlet tube. Secure the power steering fluid reservoir by removing its three bolts but position it aside while you should tighten each bolt to 6 Nm when reinstalling. Lift the cooling fan shroud assembly with the electric fan when you remove its mounting bolts before replacing it to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) torque. Users should detach the electric cooling fan by unfastening its three bolts and then install it according to a torque specification of 8 Nm (71 lb-in). The procedure allows additional disassembly by removing the two bolts, electric cooling fan bracket and three electric cooling fan nuts from the fan shroud but the reinstallation should be done with 8 Nm (71 lb-in) torque. The procedure ends when the removal steps get inverted.
