New sound for a new week. Not sure how to describe other then the most annoying sound Lloyd Christmas makes in dumb and dumber. It’s location is up front of the engine. It idles smooth until I push the gas. The groan grows louder as the rpm’s go up.
I’m starting to think it’s the fan clutch going bad. Cold engine and not running the fan is hard to spin with my hand. Turn the engine on and it’s spinning. My understanding it doesn’t spin until the engine reaches a certain temp and begins to spin, correct? Run the engine for a bit to get it warm. I’ll turn it off the fan clutch is still hard to spin.
Any ideas? Am I way off? Hopefully these videos will show up.
