Figured I’d snag another vid since I had my wife to start it. HB is f’d for sure. Buying a 2 ft breaker bar to let the starter break the bolt

as far as fan clutch spinning freely
Let everyone know what you need/encounter!

 

I’ll check how the fan spins and check resistance after work tomorrow when the truck is nice and warmed up. All videos I have posted so far, have been when everything is cold.

 

Got her stripped down to begin the HB replacement. Ordered a replacement fan clutch as suggested; Aisin FCT-0200 for the 2.7 liter, pretty sure it works for folks with a 2.4 also.

Look at the play in this and notice how it has completely separated from the metal!!

Swapped the old HB for a new one this afternoon. Went ahead and did the front main seal also. Chain wrench FTW.
