engine temp....fan clutch... SOMEONE HELP!
okay here it is... i have a 99 f150 with a 5.4 motor.... well... since its getting hotter around here, i thought that i would start running the a/c... well i did... then found out that my fan clutch was out... (very quickly found out that i might add)... so... i changed the fan clutch.. now it works like its supposed to when the a/c is off... i blew the radiator out when i changed the fan clutch... now when i turn on the a/c, the once the engine is warm enough for the fan clutch to be on, it stays on all the time.. (killing my fuel mileage) so...m what should i do? a different fan clutch? flush the coolant? put in a low temp thermostat? ??? another thing is that with my job this summer my truck will be doing a lot of idling (its a must) i dont want the fan clutch on all the time do i? i dont know what to do..... can someone give me some suggestions on what to do or has anyone ever had this problem???
