Engine fan sounds like hovercraft

WhiteLightning said:

My engine fan just kicks on randomly (or so it seems) all the time. Sometimes right when I start the truck, it just runs for 30+ seconds and then shuts off. Its also super loud every time it does it.

Does anyone else experience this?

Check your two fans and make sure they are both running. If not check the fuses, believe its 12 and 16 but they are about the only 50amp fuses in there under the hood above the radiator. If the fuses are good then confirm the fans are plugged in, the connector is close to the center of the fan motor.

I had one fan motor that went bad causing the other fan to kick into high speed and super loud. Took it to the dealer and they will replace the entire fan assembly that will replace both.

I wander what made your fan to go bad on such a new 2014 truck. I live in Florida and I notice my fans are also kicking into high speed and they are very loud.

RDFTS,
Thanks for the info. I checked the fuses and they are good. One of the fans just isn't working, even after I checked the connections. Guess it's back to the dealership...

I appreciate your help.
