Just how much resistance should I be getting when trying to spin the fan? I can spin it around several times with just a flip of my index finger.
THE BEST way to test a fan clutch is to listen for engagement. it should be obvious. if it's not getting hot enough at idle to engage the clutch, try putting a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator. the temperature the clutch engages at will vary depending on type/ brand/ application, but it should engage with authority. you should hear the unmistakeable roar of the fan, and feel the airflow increase dramatically. if you don't, it might be a plugged radiator as i mentioned earlier. i wish i had a penny for every time i heard a customer tell me, "i've replaced the fan clutch 4 times, and it still gets hot!"
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?
