    mine runs warm too.
    but only under load like towing or running AC.
    after it got up to temp I turned off the motor. like lots of threads on here tell you to do. and I checked the fan clutch. spins as free as a bird. I am sure that is the issue.
    there are several on ebay for $35. I will be going that route and reporting back.

    IMO, I'd go with an OEM only! VXorado tried a few aftermarket ones and they didn't correct the problem, bought an OEM and it was fixed. His comments are in one of those threads I posted.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    yeah I already ordered it. should be here in a couple days. my question is why run a fan cluctch? we all know they run a cluch from the factory so that it warms up quicker and to help free up some HP. there are many kits out there to convert other vehicles, toyotas, chevy's etc to non clutch fan. seems like eliminating it would be nice.
