#234 of 520 Fan Clutch '94 4.0L Aerostar by edo Feb 20, 2005 (9:39 am)
Hello, I need assistance in changing the radiator fan from my wife's van. The fan is cranked in numerous places on the base. I bought a new one and tried to remove the old one but ran across this problem. According to the Chilton manual (8057) 26100 covering Aerostar from '86-96 the fan clutch is attached to the water pump with left-hand threads meaning that I must turn the large nut clockwise as viewed from the front to remove. I have the special tools to hold the fan clutch while loosening the nut. I tried turning the nut clockwise, but the wrench spread, slipped and took some metal off the nut. Then, I noticed that the fan cover has big letters that reads "Right hand threads on Fan Clutch." I tried loosening the nut by hitting on the wrench counter-clockwise, but still not able to break loose. What threads are on this fan clutch to the water pump nut? Is it usually very hard to break loose. Please help before the fan comes apart and causes secondary damage to the engine, radiator, tranny line and other. Thanks in advance for any help you may provide. Respectfully, Ed Ortiz
#235 of 520 Aerostar 3.0 Towing Capacity by bramble Feb 23, 2005 (11:46 am)
Hi I have a Aerostar 3.0 (130bhp) commercial van with 66k miles. I would like to know what the maximum towing capacity is for my vehicle. The trailer I plan to tow weighs 950lbs and will have a 1100lbs load in it. Any help would be much appreciated.   Many Thanks Replies to this message: steve_ (Feb 23, 2005 12:53 pm) bramble (Feb 23, 2005 2:50 pm)

Replying to: bramble (Feb 23, 2005 11:46 am) You didn't say what year, but I'm guessing they are all the same. The 1996 Aerostar is rated to tow 4400 lbs.   Steve, Host Replies to this message: bramble (Feb 23, 2005 2:50 pm)

Replying to: steve_ (Feb 23, 2005 12:53 pm) Thanks, that's a great help. Actually it's a 1995 but I guess the engine/transmission are the same. Anyone had any towing related issues?   Thanks again

My brother has a 94 Ford Aerostar that won't start when it rains or snows. It has a lot of miles on it. He put a new distributor cap on it last year. Replies to this message: scooby2 (Mar 30, 2005 12:56 pm) 12shield (Apr 12, 2005 4:01 pm)

#242 of 520 1996 Aerostar very poor acceleration by rapp Mar 15, 2005 (3:03 pm)
My 96 Aerostar with 119K miles has been very good since new.In the last week I can press the peddle to the floor and it hardly accelerates or revs. The dealer diagnosed no faults found - suspect trany at fault. It wasn't the transmission per trany shop. Catalytic converter tests OK. Anyone know of any problems that may cause this condition. Several repair shops are stumped.

Replying to: rapp (Mar 15, 2005 3:03 pm) I found a good mechanic who found the harmonic balancer had come loose. The key then wore to the side. It would idle OK but with acceration the timing went out. Ironically the last shop to remove the hb was the same dealer (7 years earlier) that did an OK diagnostic on the timing etc this time. In fairness, I returned to the dealer with the damaged part for a full refund of their 2 hr of diagnosis. The Van now runs with the spunk of a new one or better.
