Got an 03' Ford Ranger 2.3L Auto. That keeps on overheating on me. I replace the Radiador and the line that goes from the water reserve tank to the water pump (the main line) that connects to the heater lines etc....My Q. to u is could it be the Rad.?Fan that's not cooling the water? Please let me know. Thank You for you're time Danny...

Hi Danny,

It can be the Fan Clutch. To check with vehicle off spin the fan it should spin fairly easy. Now, start the truck let it warm to op temp. Shut it off and spin fan should be harder to spin. If no difference then replace fan clutch.
