Remember, the fan hub rotates as long as the motor is running so other than starting the engine, the fan sensor is not subjected to any sudden torque or shock. As I said in a previous post, I observed the assembly during engine start and when it cycled on temperature and there was little to no...

Got it! It's taken me a minute to get up to speed so the guidance is appreciated! I've worked a lot installing and programing Siemens controls and PLC controllers. I'm only vaguely familiar with CAN bus - All the functions of my KTM, like BMW, are CAN bus controlled. Thanks again.

Ahh, I see now, thank you for that. Each splice (in these diagrams) is either sharing voltage for sensor operation or it's part of the CAN bus returning info back to the PCM? I'm familiar with PWM, 4-20mA, 5-10vdc control signals and PLC operation but I wasn't taking into account that the CAN...

So why have those particular wires run to the fan clutch? Also the wiring diagram is confusing because the cooling fan is labeled as a "motor" and the wire labels don't match. Is this a printing error? My book is for a 2019. There's no 'CKP' or 'VRSRTN' in the wiring diagram and no 'VREF' or...

Why would there be cam position and crank speed sensor wires running to the fan clutch module? I'm assuming there's logic in the fan module that uses data from thoses sensors, rather than just coolant temp or A/C use? Anticipation of engine load?

After observing a start from cold and the cycling of the fan, I'm convinced the shock from torque is minimal and was probably a secondary design concern. A fan clutch failure wouldn't affect the stationary electrical component, but a hose failure certainly would allow the fan clutch wiring to...

After reading all the posts here, seeing all the solutions the members have created, analyzing the mechanics involved and scrutinizing the oem configuration, I've come to the conclusion that airline tech's simple, fast and easy fix using a length of reinforced fuel line is the answer. There is...

DukeCanBuildit & got3fords you guys sound like exceptions to the rule. Literally every day in the SF Bay Area I encounter cyclists who have absolutely zero self awareness or common sense. Does every member of the 'spandex armada' think to themselves, "I'm going to only ride on main...

Your fix looks every bit the final solution: flexible like the original, but much stronger. Plus the armored wiring harness should prevent damage there, IF your silicone bridge/shock absorber ever fails.

Lol - I sat down 2 days ago and read all (at that time) 2290 posts. I wanted to make damn sure I didn't miss any announcements! o_O

Your fix looks damn solid This one's already halfway there. Looks like it would be easier to work with.

I bought one, they're pricey @ $50 but they are very nice. the stitching matches the oem trim perfectly and they've got something like 40 colors/finishes to choose from. Mine was cracking at the end of my third year of ownership. Install was super easy, I used the above video as a guide. Just be...

I voted and requested one in this thread :thumbsup:

Check the Ohio Admin Codes. A few states don't allow anything other then head lights, driving lights and turn signals on the front of a vehicle. You'll probably be in the clear as long as they're not too bright. I think I saw 24 candle power mentioned, about 300 lumens or about a 30watt light bulb.

I'll be changing my trans fluid & filter in the next couple of weeks @34k miles and I know it'll be well beyond that before I'm able to officially order the FitzStick (I'm probably around #245), but I believe it's worth the wait. Mike's obsessive attention to detail on this product speaks for...

Aha! I'll try that next time! :thumbsup: :clap:

If the truck is at the dealer it's probably too late, but there might be a savvy mech willing to try that. If the #4 cyl injector is disconnected and the radiator is partially blocked, the engine will warm up pretty quickly. It'll probably throw a fault but it would be worth a try. And an inside...

I Installed a Mishimoto catch can today with 34k miles on the engine (it was hard enough putting it on, I hope I don't have to take it off), wondering if I should have gotten a UPR. ? I don't know how often I'm running boost, but after reading about the 'clean side' CC installs there doesn't...

If you can get the head hot, the spark plug hole will just slightly enlarge and you might be able to get it out with an extractor. I'm anticipating the comments: Yes, the hole will get bigger, not smaller. And in the future, just a dot of copper anti-seize on the upper half of the plug threads...

Never had a problem using just the Bluetooth, but 99.99% of the time I'm plugged in for the Maps & apps.
