Description: Fan Clutch DM Advantage, SE24 Cummins, 12
Condition: New
Brand: Horton®
Part Number: 799861
Fitment Guide: 24V Cummins, Kenworth
A fan clutch is a device mounted between the engine and the cooling fan that controls when the fan spins at full speed.
-
Improves fuel economy
- The engine doesn't have to constantly drive a large cooling fan.
- This is especially important on heavy-duty trucks where the fan can consume significant horsepower.
-
Reduces engine load
- Less energy is used to spin the fan when extra cooling isn't needed.
- More engine power is available for moving the vehicle.
-
Maintains proper engine temperature
- The fan engages when coolant temperatures rise.
- Helps prevent overheating during heavy loads, hot weather, or slow-speed operation.
-
Reduces noise
- Large engine fans can be very loud.
- A disengaged fan clutch keeps fan speed lower, reducing noise.
-
Speeds engine warm-up
- By limiting airflow through the radiator when the engine is cold, the engine reaches operating temperature faster.
- This can improve efficiency and reduce emissions.

Signs of Faulty:
|
Signs the fan clutch is stuck engaged
-
Very loud fan noise ("roaring" sound), especially during acceleration.
-
Reduced fuel economy because the fan is constantly drawing power.
-
Loss of engine power or sluggish acceleration.
- Fan seems to run at high speed even when the engine is cold.
Signs the fan clutch fails to engage
-
Engine overheating, especially:
- In traffic or at low speeds
- While towing or hauling heavy loads
- Climbing hills
- Temperature drops when driving at highway speeds because natural airflow through the radiator helps compensate.
- Air conditioning performance may worsen at idle because less air is moving through the condenser.
