fan is making a squealing noise
like the title says my fan is making a creaking squealing noise, any tips or ideas on what i can do to fix this. when i push on the accelorator the noise increases. I know its the fan cause when i turn the engine off everything stops but the fan keeps spinning and the noise continues until the fan stops spinning.

Is this an elec. fan or a mechanical fan? It sounds like a mechanical fan, and sounds like the clutch is shot. That I know of, your fan shouldn't be spinning after the engine shuts off. Have you noticed any overheating?

Since it still does not when you shut the truck off, replace the fan clutch. The fan should stop spinning with in 1-2 seconds after turning the engine off

unbolt the fan and the clutch should come off with it. unbolt the clutch from the fan itself and bolt the new one on and put it all back on. shouldn't take much more than 30 minutes.
