Have a 2021 with around 70K miles. My issue is only with the cover in the center of the fan clutch that faces the radiator. It appears to be riveted on from what I can see in your video, but on mine it is loose and makes a metal clinking noise. Fan seems to perform just fine and spins with ease. Not sure how to correct without taking the fan out and I hate to buy a whole new clutch assembly if it’s just that cover that’s loose. I’m just worried it’s going to fall off!

I was referred to by another Ram owner on fb. I want to say great video. Not a lot of rambling if any. We saw what you did from start to finish I have a 2020 3500 and mine won’t kick on when temp gets up there. Thanks to you I feel very confident on changing mine. Got a sub from me. Keep em coming when repairs are made.

Great job, Alex! I'm glad it all worked out. What mileage did it fail at? Did you go with an oem thermostat or anything cooler? Our 21 3500 with 76k miles, on cold start-up from time to time, has the fan clutch running but shuts off after about 5 seconds. I understand the noise you're talking about. I'm glad you got it fixed, and thanks for taking the time for the DIY video on it. It'll be helpful when the time comes💪👍
