How-To: COOLING FAN crunching noise source found/FIX!!!
|
It's the side seals between the radiator and the housing. Somehow they are not staying put and get sucked into the housing and torn up by the fans. The fans themselves are just fine.
I decided to start a new thread so that this is easy to find for those who want to check their SRT8, or need to address this very issue. It certainly is a DIY possible task. vvv90... please consider this for the TECH TIPS section. As far as I know it will apply equally well to the 5.7L fan housing as it does to the 6.1L engine cooling system.
This may take me several posts to document with pictures and commentary so until I indicate that I'm done, please don't post a response.
