    High pitch squeal from fan clutch/wp pulley?

    My fan clutch makes a high pitch squeal, I determined it was the fan clutch (or is it called the waterpump pulley?) by spraying some wd40 where the fan attaches to the engine pulley and where the pulley meets the engine, which stoped the squealing momentarily. It is extremely loud, and I...

    Couple questions about mudding/4x4ing. When you guys start in 4lo (before a steep grade or some big obstacle) do you guys start in 2nd and just give her? Would it be ok to start in 3rd to get going faster or is that to hard on the clutch? I got a buddy who just got a 91 chev halfton and he's...
