Replace the fan. A nice heavy duty flex fan will eliminate the fan clutch altogether.

I replaced the fan clutch under warranty and this morning i figured why my truck wouldn't hold an idle. i pulled out the egr valve and cleaned it with an air compressor and carberator cleaner, and now it has a consistent idle and no more stalling problems
