I have searched the forum for a while for fan clutch issues that sound like what I have going on but have not found anything quite like it.
I noticed while towing my vehicle gets hot under acceleration then cools off while moving or stopped.
When the engine is cold the fan is hard to turn. It will only move a few inches and stop. When the car is warmed up and I turn it off and spin the fan, it spins much more freely. It will go around 1 and 1/2 times.
Does this mean I have a bad fan clutch and is it very hard to replace. I have not found a guide for a 3rd gen fan clutch replacement.
Thanks in advance
