92 f150. i was recently in an accident with damage to the front of my truck. question is, would a bent fan make the engine idle roughly? i sort of feels like it is the fan just because it feels like the engine is moving back and forth but not crazy. its not and engine mount. basically just wanna know if the bent fan would cause rough idle

 

Bent fan shouldn't cause rough idle, but it could cause some shaking.

 

thats really what i meant to say, sorry. i couldnt think of the right word, but thats perfect. yea, it just feels like its shaking. i guess its pretty much like a loose ceiling fan

 

You could take the belt off and start the engine for a few seconds to see if it still does it. That will give you your answer. Don't run it too long, because you are running without your fan (obviously) and your water pump.

 

alright ill check try that. im pretty sure its the fan, but just to be safe. thanks again

 

Let us know how it goes. May be a good time to take out the belt driven fan and put in an electric since you need a new radiator, too. That will save you money at the gas pump and give a few extra hp's, too.

 

yea ill let you know how everything turns out when im done. i have a good couple days work on my hands getting this truck back on the road. the electric fan and a nice radiator will definitely be something i do once i get my truck back on the road. right now i need a new fan, radiator core, grille support, headlight/ parking lights, pass. fender, hood, i have to cut the piece of frame and replace it, and bumper haha. its hard to find time, but its gettin there
