I drove on the interstate and I have two zip ties cut. Whatever it is, it only happens at highway speeds.

I've driven a few hundred miles - none of it highway miles. I just checked the harness. There is no sign of rubbing. I don't know if it is because I haven't been on the highway, or because of my blade reforming, but so far so good.

I can see where your point of view can have merit, but it's not showing up in experience. True, the fan, 1/2 the shroud, and the bottom part of the harness are attached to the engine, which is separate from the radiator. But the first point of contact for the blades is the metal bracket - which...

Yes. I believe I posted that at least three times.

In theory, sure. But it wouldn't do anything to help this problem. The blades are flexing forward toward the radiator, not stretching out and getting longer.

I imagine you are referring to the Ford 7.3 fan clutch conversion? Because, at this point, the only thing that isn't new is the plastic fan. New water pump (not that that would matter), new fan clutch, new radiator, new belt...

It's possible that someone installed the wrong one in the past, but I installed te last two - one of them being flat out defective. This one has a metal "guard" towards the top and another metal guide/bracket towards the bottom. As far as it being heavy duty, I would strongly debate against...

Yeah, it's not a trivial cost to replace the fan. I'll see how my "heat gun" repair goes and replace the fan if it gives me a problem again. I have an aftermatket electric fan in there on a thermostat, so I'm not dead in the water if it breaks. But it sure is nicer when that big, mechanical fan...

I checked that while I had everything apart. It's tight - no wobble. And, like I said, I watched the engine run at idle. There is a good 3/4" of clerance. Since the wires don't really have room to move, and the bearings are all tight, and it's only three blades, and It's not a common thing, I'm...

The fan is stock, but the clutch isn't. When I got the truck, it already had wiring "repairs" done to the clutch (twist together and electrical tape). The wire was also rerouted, but it was broken when I got it. I think the old clutch was aftermarket, but it appears to have been a good one - it...

I've never seen any evidence of a wreck. But, if it were from a wreck, I'd expect to see something while turning the fan by hand. The fan is a good 3/4" or more away from the wires while the truck is not running. But I definitely have three blades that flex into the wires while it is running. As...

2006 with a 5.9. I've fixed this stupid thing so many times... I've fixed it at least five times. I've bent the metal bracket so it's almost touching the radiator. I've encased the wires in a rubber hose so they can't rub on the radiator. And the fan still flexes enough to rub on the hose, rub...

I was a powerstroke owner (gross, puke) before this, so this is new to me. I think I know what's happening and why it seemed so random. It only happened when the oil is cold - and, therefore, thicker. This may be just enough extra drag to trip the code. I'm using two programs left over from my...

Here's another wrench to throw in... I stopped at the store and, when I came back out, it's working fine again.

I have a 2006 Dodge 3500 with a g56 manual. I bought it used and it was already modified. It has s big turbo, new intake, tuning, 40psi boost, etc... I don't drive the truck like a kid but, whatever, the price was right and all this was already done. Anyway, I just got my second low boost code...
