Fan clutch???

When should the fan clutch kick on? 2006 F350 6.0

I have an Edge and the coolant is one thing I moniter. Sometimes it kicks on at 218, 220, even 210. and will kick off at 216 210 or 198.

Is my fan clutch bad or the sensor that tells it when to kick on and off?

I was purging coolant, but that has stopped. I replaced the coolant cap and double checked all my hose clamps, wires, everthing nothing looks out of place or cut or torn. Still over heating It 55 deg. outside and I am pulling a 41 foot camper. But I do that all the time. Help!


sometimes it won't come on at all--I have to slow way down to get the truck cooled off. Thanks

If your trucks not overheating its probably fine. There could be more than just water temp that determines at what point the clutch engages.
