The service engine soon light came on. so I took it to the local mechanic. They checked the code and told me I needed a fan clutch. So i replaced that. The very next day after maybe 30 miles the service engine soon light came back on. I took it back to the mechanic and had the code read again. This time they said that the temperature sensor needed replaced. which i had them do. The next day on my way to work. Again less than 30 miles the service engine soon light came back on. What gives. I'm down 500 bucks in a week and the damn light is still on.

That darn clutch fan. The truck temp would be really high after running for a while, over 210. And don't turn the A/C on cause it would really start running hot. The Dealer said that they just do that when it's really hot outside. Yeah Right! Well the clutch fan that cools the engine was turning slow and not cooling the engine. The Dealer wanted $800.00 to fix the problem. I told them to put it back together and I went to Advanced Auto and got the clutch fan for $211.00 and borrowed the wrenches for $60.00 which was returned. I can't believe I was soooo hot in that truck!!!
