when u 1st pull out anywhere it sounds like the fans are on? or is that just how the new motors sounds?? cause my 2003 F-150 5.4L didnt sound like that?

it only seems 2 sound like that when i 1st pull out, once iam goin good, and get on it, it doesnt do it??

 

wait 20 seconds or so and let you engine idle back down to normal after you start it up cold. Then you shouldn't get that noise.

I only notice it too when I start it up and immediately put it gear and drive off. My 4.0L V6 Sport Trac would do the same thing if you start off too quick.

 

mine seems like it does it way after its warmed up, maybe these new motors do that, cause i know some vehicles sound like that at 1st...

 

mine does it when it first starts up then it calms down. i think it is normal

 

My fan NEVER shuts off! It's always going, no matter if it's -20 out! I don't get it?

 

Ford trucks use an engine driven fan with a temperture operated mechanical clutch to activate it when air flow is needed through the radiator. The clutch has a fluid or some other medium in it that starts to lock up the fan when the temperature rises and lets it freewheel when its not needed. I've read that if the fan is locked or starting to lock up when you shut the engine off, it will remain locked for 30 seconds or so after the engine has cooled off and restarted. Revving the engine will make it release too.

I guess this makes sense because mine doesn't do it every time. My 97 F-150 did it and I hear my neighbor's old Explorer doing it sometimes too.
