2014 Ram 2500 fan clutch problems
A few months ago I figured out that my fan clutch on my Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi was sticking on at certain times and temps. Dodge has replaced it twice and this past weekend it stuck on again for 120 miles ...

No the fan clutch is not acting normal. Below 30 degrees air temp, coolant temp below 200 and fan clutch is on is not normal. Fan clutch shouldn't engage until coolant temp hits around 220 degrees.
Maybe the gas engines are different but on my diesel it comes on just past the mid point on the gauge, perhaps 210 or even a little less. My gauge normally runs about one needle width cooler than mid point on the gauge and about one needle width over the 200 mid point it comes on. It is always before 220. In 130,000 miles it has never stayed on more than a minute or two towing, almost never not towing in summer and almost never in the winter. And when it comes on it is obvious. Mine needed to be replaced at 100,000 miles because it would not come on. On the TDR site they recommend only going OEM on the clutches as they seem to work better.
