changed w-pump, f-clutch, thermstat & belt. When I first start out in the
mornings it seems like the fan is really loud but quiets down as it warms up. Is
there such a thing as being too loud?

Thanks for your input I too thought it was normal but it's nice to here a second opinion.

Yes there is a thing of your fan clutch being too loud. I have a 08 Ram 1500 and when I changed the fan clutch with a new water pump kit the new clutch was and still is loud. I am currently trying to find an after market clutch that is reliable and much quieter. This also affects the performance of the truck's engine with loss of power and gas consumption.
