2002 F150 4.2L Fan Clutch
Hey guys. I have searched and I think that I know what I need to do but I still wanted to run it by you all. On my 02 F150 4.2L 5spd, I have had it about a month and I noticed that the fan seemed louder on it than it has on other vehicles, even other Fords. I also noticed that at idle the fan clutch kept engaging and disengaging. So I decided to get a new one made by Hayden. This one is way louder than the old one and will not disengage, well it might at really high rpm's but I have not found out where. Should I just keep getting replacements until I find one that works or should I just go to the dealer and get a motorcraft in hopes it will do the job the first time?
P.S. -- On a side note, what does your 4.2L idle at? Mine is around 850 with the manual trans. That just seemed a little high to me. Anyone?

BlueOval...the fan clutch on my 03 does the same thing. At idle, I can hear the fan engage and disengage even when it is cold out. In addition, mine also idles high on start up and around a 1000 rpm when hot in park. When hot and in drive it will idle about 650.
Also, my MPG really stinks, i.e. about 12.5 in town. How is your mileage?
