Replacing the stock fan

[Terry]

My stock clutch fan has seen better days. Has anyone replaced the stock one with an aftermarket one?

I replaced my fan with a Electric fan that my friend let me have. I pulled off the old clutch fan which can be difficult(I have always needed the clutch fan removal tool but some can get away with just using a wrench). I wired it to a toggle switch on my switch board by the lights. Removing and putting the switch board takes some practice lol If you decide to do it the way I did with a toggle switch I recommend using a switch with a light on it. Sometimes its hard to remember to turn the fan on and overheating will be an issue if you dont. Works great though Good luck!

I replaced my radiator and fan clutch with one from Oreilly about six years ago and both are doing fine. I do not use parts from a junk yard if I can buy new. Especially radiators and heater cores - that's just asking for more headaches.

Ford Taurus electric fans are a common junkyard option for a ranger.

A bit of searching here should give you lots of info in it.

also check the tech library.
