yeah its warmed up to18 deg outside with a 10-15 mph wind blowing. so yeah it was cold when I checked the fan blades.
I thought of boots, but if I romped on it that would make it worst, the lack of power is just on start up rolling off a stop type of thing.
the sound is at all speeds till I romp on it.

Mine on my truck (F250) will only spin when it's really cold and I didn't give the truck much time to warm up or when the engine is real hot. The rest of the time it's idling and putting no resistance on the engine.

fan clutches and waterpumps......can do some strange things. I have lost 2 waterpumps on my truck and have never had a drop of coolant from the weep hole. The only indicators I had that there was an issue was a whining noise intermittantly and fan clutch operating way to much, and at odd times. The motor was not too hot, (I have a coolant filter and remote temp sensor) but I think the bearing failing in the waterpump was creating some kind of harmonic or generating enough heat to actually engage the fan clutch. both time's to diagnoise all I had to do was grab the fan and wiggle it back and forth while watching the fan pully. If the fan pully moves at all fan clutch bearing is going going gone, and like I said before never any coolant from the weep hole. Failed waterpump was also confirmed when I changed it out by the physical evidence of the impeller slowley but surely wearing in to the pump houseing.
Hope this help's.
