    How do you test a bad fan clutch?


    Mine arent flipped yet and my camber has never been too bad, but I plan to flip when I tackle this repair. I have one of the lifetime firestone alignment plans.

    I've always heard to spin your fan manually. Lack of resistance = bad fan clutch, so I'm told. However, my fan spun with resistance, so I dismissed it.

    Truck had 75kish on it when I got it, and this problem started then. Given what I've heard/read/seen, I'd think if your truck is around that mileage, it is a strong possibility. When I replaced it, and the problem officially stopped, I ordered another to keep as a spare. Later on down the road, it'll be a life saver, I'm sure.
