Sunday the two boys and I took the pickup out for a drive, only put on 250 miles but it was trouble free and ran great. Anyone else have to shut off their pickup when ordering in the drive thru? No big deal, just a little worried how it would start back up and was fine.
I did not look at the fan hub before I left, also was not towing anything so did not worry about the temps.
It bugs me that the fan hub may not be working so I dinked with it tonight. I pulled the hub off and removed the fan.

I mounted the fan hub in a vise and spun it around to get the fluid to were it should be, spun fairly easy after twirling it over several times. Wrapped a string around it and pulled it steady with a digital fish scale.

1.17 lbs pull was the highest it read.
Next I put a heat gun to it and used a digital temp gun to read the temps. Wrapped the string around it and did the pull test again.

I checked it at 200, 220, 230, and 240. 240 is when the hub pulled the hardest. 4.10 lbs. i did not try at any hotter temp, as I would think around the 230 temp it would pull the hardest.
