I have a 2009 Avenger and I can't seem to hear the fuel pump run prior to start-up.....even with my ear right on it.....it could be because the brake cooler fan is so bloody loud....there seems to be lot's of vibration with the brake cooler fan....it is much louder than my conquest or bigfoot.....does anyone else with an Avenger seem excessively loud??? Maybe its just an Avenger thing.

Sometimes the plastic housings can get cracked and barely rub against the fan causing it to be much louder. You may want to pull it out to inspect it or, since it's a bit of a pain to remove, at least run your hand around the housing to see if it's cracked.

Here's and update Mike: all of a sudden the brake cooler fan got real quite....so quite that I had to check that it was blowing..sure enough...no blow......it turns out the fan was completely pooched.....completely destroyed...not a single fan blade left.
...what do you think would have caused this on a 2009 with very low hours (60 hours)???
Thanks, Rick

I think the damage occurs when the front right side hits an obstacle in a certain way. The fan gets pushed and the plastic housing gets a little oblong shaped. When that happens, a fan blade will catch and it's downhill from there. That's just my guess.
