Left hand threads and right hand threads differ in the direction in which they are tightened or loosened. Right hand threads are the most common and are tightened by turning clockwise and loosened by turning counterclockwise. Left hand threads, on the other hand, are tightened by turning counterclockwise and loosened by turning clockwise. This difference in direction allows left hand threads to be used in specific applications where a reverse tightening direction is needed.

How does the fan go in a F250 Ford 2000 diesel?

I think this one is left hand thread Nope it's regular right hand thread. If it's a 7.3L diesel also the 6.0L is also right hand thread and the 6.4L is a left hand thread. Only way it would be left hand thread is if it's stamped on the fan shroud. If nothing is stamped then regular right hand. Hope this helps Powerstroke57
