2005 Ford 6.0 PSD Water Temperature Question
While towing, once in a while my engine temp gage climbs to within an eighth of an inch of the red zone. (Coolant level is just fine.)
When it gets to that point, it seems that’s when the clutch for the fan engages, and I hear a rather loud, (even though I never wear my hearing aids while driving,) growling sound that continues until the temp gets back down to about mid-gage.
This happens mostly when driving up inclines, and accelerating after a rest stop. And when the noise starts, the temp goes down, even if I’m still climbing or accelerating.
Bear in mind that it’s been pretty warm no matter where we’ve been lately. And it’s been happening for a while, now. I think the first time I even noticed it was in Virginia, a few months back, climbing the Blue Ridge.
Has anyone noticed this? Do you hear it when the fan kicks in?
I’m planning on getting the codes read whenever I come upon a compliant Ford dealer.
