Went through some mud pits a few weeks ago and my radiator fan has been coming on alot. I hosed down the engine and radiator real good but still not better. Fluid levels ok. Any ideas?

Spray the shit out of the radiator. Ive been dealing with the same thing. I'm afraid mines so bad I'm gonna have to take it apart and clean it. I've got a ton of trash in there holding heat.

only way you are going to get the radiator clean enough is to take the fan shroud off, been there done that more times then I can count. It comes off easy. Also consider getting a spal waterproof fan if you like to play in mud alot. see my thread below

I love my spal. It moves so much air it will suck a shop rag onto the grill. One of the greatest purchases for the money.

Take off the fan shroud, the top cover and the bottom cover then spray the shit out of it.

Be careful not to bend the fins with the water pressure.
If it's really bad, the radiator needs to come out so you can flush the fins better.

Sprayed the shit out of it one more time and it seems to be ok for now

with the shroud off? if not you aren't spraying crap except the ac condenser up front....you should spray it with a regular hose and nozzle not a pressure washer lol.....with the shroud off spray back and forth from top to the bottom till only clean water is running off of it, spray between ac condenser and radiator and spray the condenser also till it is clean water only also, the air has to move through that first to get to rad to cool it.

it could look like this under the shroud :lol:
