[Shop-talk] '02 Suburban engine cooling

[Eric J Russell]

The engine driven fan - is it like the fans in olde cars & always turns when 
the engine is running or is it like the engine driven fans in moderns cars 
and has some sort of clutching system? If the latter perhaps the clutching 
system isn't working? My F250 diesel has the latter - I can hear the roar of 
the fan when it gets called to duty, otherwise is just seems to freewheel.
