fan clutch question.

[chessman21]

My temp goes way up when i sit still or at slow speeds. I replaced thermostat and it didnt help.. I can spin the fan with one finger and if i fling it hard enough i can get it to spin about a half revolution or a little better maybe,, is that the norm or should it be hard to turn??

When radiator is warmed up you shouldn't be able to spin the fan at all, you can push it to move it but it will have high resistance and for sure no movement after you stop pushing it.

So yes, fan clutch needs to be replaced.
