My engine fan on my truck is making a weird noise. It seems to be loose alittle. When the engine is running it sounds like it's loose, making a type of grinding noise, it still spins as the engine turns, but when you apply throttle it gets even louder and the fan doesn't spin any faster then it should. the trucks engine heat doesnt rise, but I dont know how to take it off to replace or possibly fix. If you can tell me how to do this I would most appreciate it.


Thanks

with the engine off try turning the fan it should have a little bit of resistance and should turn smoothly all the way around, try to wiggle it, it should not move

post back what you find.
