clutch fans put alot of drag on the engines. many people don't look at this problem but if you look at a newer truck, it don't have clutch fans. clutch fan will rob power. i heard they are not suppose to turn at high rpm's but they still do. clutch fans rob about 10-13hp. you will increase your fuel economy by 6% by removing it and installing an electric fan setup.
