2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO clutch

Engine Fan Noise
If your vehicle has a clutched engine cooling fan,
when the clutch is engaged, the fan spins
faster to provide more air to cool the engine. In
most everyday driving conditions, the fan is
spinning slower and the clutch is not fully engaged.
This improves fuel economy and reduces fan
noise. Under heavy vehicle loading, trailer towing,
and/or high outside temperatures, the fan speed
increases as the clutch more fully engages, so you
may hear an increase in fan noise. This is
normal and should not be mistaken as the
transmission slipping or making extra shifts. It is
merely the cooling system functioning properly.
The fan will slow down when additional cooling is
not required and the clutch disengages.
You may also hear this fan noise when you start
the engine. It will go away as the fan clutch
partially disengages.If your vehicle has electric cooling fans, you may
hear the fans spinning at low speed during most
everyday driving. The fans may turn off if no cooling
is required. Under heavy vehicle loading, trailer
towing, and/or high outside temperatures, or if you
are operating your air conditioning system, the fans
may change to high speed and you may hear an
increase in fan noise. This is normal and indicates
that the cooling system is functioning properly. The
fans will change to low speed when additional
cooling is no longer required.
