Fan Shroud Question
Not wanting to start another holy war on this but I have a question
. I have read most of the past posts on this shroud issue but did not see any mention of noise.
During my F250 SD cylinder head rebuild job, the shop asked if I wanted the shroud on or left off. Having fought with the belt and tensioner in the past I went with the no-shroud option.
Now I have the truck back on the road and its 100 degrees outside, the cooling fan is running intermittently at full speed and is really noisy. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the fan makes any more noise with the shroud off than on ? I really don't remember it being that loud before.
Thanks PB

Are you talking about the shroud that attaches to the radiator, or the stator that bolts to the engine its self?
I took my stator off and never hear my fan kick on. And its well over 100 degrees here in Missouri with 90% humidity. And i tow regularly.
So you may have other issues.
