When my friend Steve Turner and I drove one in California, he pointed the fan out to me.Anyone know why the Ranger 2.3 uses a clutch fan and not electric like most vehicle's do?
Ford engineers beefed up the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that we know and love from the Mustang with a variety of upgrades. Most obvious of those changes is a revised front-end accessory drive designed to drive a mechanical cooling fan which was deemed necessary for effective cooling in this broad-reaching application.
not on the 2.3 Duratec,,,,and you mention the water pump they last a helluva lot longer without that clutch fan lol.
