Fan blade

On my '94 Bronco,with the engine turned off and cold, should the fan blade spin freely. I was told when the engine is at operating temp, the blade does not spin freely and has a tightness to it. Mine has a tightness, whether cold or at operating temperature. Just had a new water pump installed and need some advice. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Their is a fan clutch. Going along with your explanation, the fan will move freely, but some effort is required. That clears up my concern.

Do you have a specific parts list you can post?

Part numbers and all, just to keep it simple for everyone?

An installation procedure would be great too.
