How do you check the fan clutch?
Can someone please tell me how to check my fan clutch to make sure its ok. I have been running hot the last few days. I replaced the thermostat and burped the system after a flush and refill. I just bought the truck so I am not sure how loud the fan should be when its fully engaged.

with the engine warmed up and turned off, try to spin the fan by hand: grab a fan blade and try to spin it. It should spin less than 1/4 turn or so before coming to a stop after you release the fan blade. If it spins more than that it's bad.
