The first couple times it did it if I could keep the coolant temp over 208 the clutch would stay off but once I hit 220 where it should kick on to keep the temp in check it would bring the temp below 200 and not kick off. On colder days it was hard to get the temp over 208 with the clutch running the hole time. This last time I was coming down a steep gravel grade on snow so I had the rig in 4 low and 2nd gear so compression would hold me about 10 mph, when I hit the bottom the fan clutch was on and stayed on until I climbed the first sister just East of Evanston WY. What really brought this to my attention was a couple months ago coming over the sisters in Wy, I struggled over the first hill then half way up the second hill the fan clutch kicked off, my world became quiet, I could hear the engine working and geez the rig had power imagine that.
I'm pulling around 10,000 loaded with quads so pulling up a grade in the summer I would expect it to come on but not while running flats in below 30 degrees air temps. I have been watching my temps closely, the 2014 Ram has a nice dash display which shows trans, coolant, and oil temps on the same page.
