WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 RAM Pickup and 2011 RAM Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The electronically controlled viscous fan drive is vibration and impact sensitive, especially at the electrical connectors. Do not drop the unit.
- Install the fan blade assembly (1) to the electrically controlled viscous fan drive (3). Tighten the mounting bolts (2) to 24 N.m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
- Position the fan/fan drive assembly inside fan shroud (1).
- Install the electrical connector bracket (2) by sliding the connector bracket (2) into the fan shroud (1) and engaging the retainer clip.
- Tilt the fan shroud/fan blade toward front of vehicle and position the fan shroud/fan blade as an assembly into the engine compartment.
- Engage the fan shroud lower retaining clips.
- Install the fan blade/fan drive assembly to the fan pulley by turning the mounting nut clockwise (as viewed from front). The threads on the viscous fan drive are RIGHT-HAND. A 36 MM Fan Wrench can be used. Place a bar or screwdriver between the fan pulley bolts to prevent pulley from rotating. Tighten the mounting nut to 115 N.m (85 ft. lbs.) torque.
- Install the fan shroud-to-lower radiator shroud push pins.
- Install the fan shroud-to-radiator shroud mounting bolt (2) located on the passenger side of the vehicle. Tighten the bolt (2) to 24 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Install the two fan shroud-to-radiator shroud mounting bolts (3) located on the driver side of the vehicle. Tighten the bolts (3) to 24 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
- Position and connect the fan drive wire harness support (1) to the fan shroud.
- Connect the electronically controlled viscous fan electrical connector (2) at the fan shroud.
- If equipped, connect the negative battery cable to the auxiliary battery.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
- Install the upper radiator shroud (1).NOTE:
Viscous Fan Drive Fluid Pump Out Requirement: After installing a new viscous fan drive, bring the engine speed up to approximately 2000 RPM and hold for approximately two minutes. This will ensure proper fluid distribution within the drive.
- Start the vehicle and check for proper clearance between the fan blade assembly and the fan shroud.
