Radiator Cooling Fan Clutch for Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 & 5500 6.7L (2013-2018)

Radiator Cooling Fan Clutch for Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 & 5500 6.7L (2013-2018)

This is a radiator cooling fan clutch, part number 3292, cross-referenced to OE numbers 52014729AA, 52014729AB, and 52014729AC, built for the 2013-2018 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 with the 6.7L engine (from 12/17/12 production). If your engine is running hotter than normal, especially at idle or in stop-and-go traffic, or you've noticed a loud roaring fan noise that doesn't change with engine speed, a worn fan clutch is a common cause on these heavy-duty Rams.

Why the Fan Clutch Matters on a 6.7L Diesel

The fan clutch is what allows your engine's cooling fan to spin faster when the engine needs more airflow, such as towing a heavy trailer or idling in traffic, and to spin slower or freewheel when it doesn't, saving power and reducing noise. Because the 6.7L engine in these trucks generates significant heat under load, a fan clutch that's stuck disengaged can't provide the additional cooling these engines depend on during demanding conditions, while one stuck engaged wastes power and creates constant fan noise.

Compatibility

Because production date cutoffs like this one can affect fitment even within the same model year, it's worth confirming the OE numbers above against your original clutch or reaching out with your VIN before ordering to help guarantee a correct fit.

Signs Your Fan Clutch Needs Replacing

An engine that runs hotter than normal, especially at idle or under load, a loud roaring fan noise that stays constant regardless of engine speed, or a fan that spins freely with little resistance when the engine is off are all signs of a failing fan clutch. Because the fan clutch directly affects how well your engine can cool itself under demanding conditions, addressing these symptoms before they lead to overheating is worth prioritizing, especially before towing season or a long haul in hot weather.

Why a Properly Working Fan Clutch Matters for Towing

Heavy-duty trucks like these are frequently used for towing, where the engine works harder and generates more heat than typical daily driving. A fan clutch that isn't engaging properly when the engine needs extra cooling can lead to overheating precisely when you're under the most load, which is when reliable cooling matters most.

Installation Notes

Installing this fan clutch means removing the fan shroud, unbolting the fan blade from the clutch, and removing the clutch from the water pump shaft before installing the new clutch and fan in reverse order. Because the fan clutch is typically secured with a reverse-threaded nut on many of these applications, confirming the correct removal direction before applying force helps avoid unnecessary difficulty. A fan clutch wrench set designed for this specific job makes the removal considerably easier than trying to improvise with standard tools, and is worth having on hand before you start.
