Subject: How to remove fan on 2001 4.7l
IP: Logged

Message:
I have a 2001 4.7l dakota and I want to know how to remove the main belt driven fan. I have an electric fan that came with the truck, and I put a 180degree thermostat, I doubt I will need the fan that puts a little more strain on the engine.
Looking for cheap horsepower.
thanks

I would like to do the same thing. but when i look at it, it looks to me that it needs to be removed by using a wrench, but then i could be wrong, I guess i could call the dealer. It would give more PWR.

All you need is a 1 7/16" wrench, large screwdriver and a hammer. Leave the belt on. Use the pry bar to gently pry on the water pump pulley (to provide holding force for the wrench) now tap the wrench counter clockwise and it should knock the big nut loose. Off comes the fan.
