Stupid me was lookin behind the fan instead if infront. It does indeed have a clutch. But no it will not turn. When I do turn it. It turns the whole motor.

It don't spin at all. Unless I turn the whole motor over with it. I'm guessing this could be the reason why all I here is fan when I get on it? Gas Milage is not so good either.

i PMed you about the fan clutch, you mentioned not all trucks had them. i went and looked and didnt see one. so this thread was a question as if i could add one on there..i didnt post this thread to directly ask about about the fan clutch being bad as i already talked to you about it..lew asked if i could spin it by hand, thats where the fan clutch being bad came into play...my bad man, i wont ask questions any more.

They won't interchange. If you saw both up close it would be very evident. I think a Hayden clutch fan for the 5.0 is $70. The I6 spins on to the water pump, so to speak, but the 5.0 has to be bolted on the water housing.
