Now that the temps are down from SCORCHING here in Oklahoma, I pulled my mechanical clutch fan off my truck. It took a whopping 15 minutes to do and I only needed a small screwdriver and a BIG crescent wrench. I used the screwdriver to pop the clips out of the lower fan shroud, then to hold the water pump pulley still while i cranked CLOCKWISE on the fan. It wasn't even tight, came off super easy. Dropped the fan out the bottom....I did this solo....and then propped it up against the tire while putting the covers back on. No issues with temps in traffic or sitting, but it is 60 degrees here today.
Definately feels more spirited on the onramps...track night tomorrow to see if I can best myself!!!
