Fan noise while towing - 2006 Explorer XLT
Howdy...
I have a 2006 Explorer XLT V8 with the tow package I have noticed when towing up a long hill, there is what sounds like a 'second fan' that switches on after a while. I assume this has something to do with the transmission cooler. My issue is that the fan intermitently squeals. My Ford dealer says this is normal, but I have a hard time believing that becuase it's intermitent. I'm not sure how I can reproduce this for my dealer, as it only happens when I tow and only on long hills, There are no hills nearby.. My questions a 1) Is this a 2nd fan coming on, or just the standard radiator fan spinnig up to a higher speed. It is far louder than the noise the engine makes when not towing. It sounds like turning the A/C fan on full, but of course, it's not the A/C fan 2) Is this squeal unavoidable? It sounds like a bad fan belt, but I'm not sure if these fans even have belts. The squeal is intermitent, which makes me feel like there's a problem. Again, my deal says they can't fix what they can't reproduce, and that there is no other fan that could be making the noise, and it's normal for the radiator fan to sound that loud when towing up a hill... The loudness isn't what bothers me. Just the intermitent squeal... Any help would be appreciated... Best, Benjamin a |
