Hell, even a 302HO plastic fan fits these trucks and pulls more air than the steel guy. I run that, the HD clutch, thicker alu radiator, and well I guess that is all on my 302/AOD truck.

Red FOT, 38oz 134A, small tube/parallel flow condenser, FS10 comp 11oz PAO 68 oil. Done. JUST did that a few weeks ago, works beautiful in AZ heat...same setup in my 96 and 92.

Then the clutch isn’t working correctly and should be replaced.

I don’t think you understand how a belt driven fan works. It will always turn while the engine is running. The speed that it turns is controlled by the thermal clutch.

While that might be true, I have never had a problem with the stock (truck) cooling system. I also don’t live in the desert but the stock configuration should be fine in AZ or Alaska.

Yes, stock 'super cooling' works fine. I just like to experiment with items to see what helps and can be done cheap.

Get the colored ones and use blue. The hole w the lip goes down, inside the blue tool. Put tool on the line under neath the spring lock. Pull it up snug; then pull till it feels like it went into the spring lock. it will come loose.
