I guess i need to take a better look at my diesel fan clutch.
i wasnt being a smarta$$ just asking sorry if it sounded like i was

I didn't think you were being a smart u no what...
No offence taken by me at all. About the spring... If they appear dirty then the seal is failing allowing the fluid to leak out. Your on borrowed time. That spring can be "modified" by changing the tension. You remove it and bend another section in it. How much I don't know but typ4 russ knows. Most stock ford fan clutches wont lock up till well past 220 degrees. The expensive MS Tech clutch locks up at 210 to 220 and pulls ******* the air. You will know it by the roar of the air being pulled thru the radiator. Almost sounds like the motor is running faster than it should. When I climb hills and the temp starts climbing I can see and hear the fan lock up. The higher up the hill I pull the lower my temp goes and you hear the air roaring ...
