Radiator fan/water pump
My radiator fan was been running very loud lately. I took my truck a few places and they couldnt figure out why. So I took it to Ford today and they said that mud got into the fan and warped it. They said my water pump was also leaking.
I did go mudding a while back in my 2010 f150 STX 2wd. Nothing too crazy though. and I cleaned the engine pretty well although it is possible mud did get stuck in the fan.
They want to charge me $606 to replace the fan and $360 to replace the water pump. I said hell no.
Is it possible that mud could have warped the fan? Im hoping if I clean it out really good it will be fine. Also think i could get the water pump fixed for a lot cheaper too. I'm not very good with fixing cars, but if I need to does anyone know of these parts are hard to replace myself if I buy them from auto zone.
Anyone else experience an issue like this? Thanks!
