2003 cummins ISL 330 (basically a cranked up 8.3)
Has a air fan clutch, the fan kicks on by temp/ECM, and the clutch engages, but it just seems like it isn't moving the air it should.
We have two cranes like this, and the other one sounds like a helicopter taking off when the fan kicks in, but this one, I just barely hear it kick in, and it isn't doing a good job cooling. I've got to be real careful with the throttle or I'm overheating.
Can the clutch slip and not go to full speed? Low air from the solenoid? or bad solenoid? It kicks on and off so I think the solenoid is working correctly, but I can't be sure its putting all the air it needs to the clutch, I guess the clutch could be leaking air also- I've had that before.
Any help appreciated.
