    Clutch Fan won't disengage

    It's spinning with the engine. The engine runs fine but I've never had this happen. I also replaced my thermostat. Still spinning with the RPMs. It doesn't run well like that either. If I took my truck to 5,000 rpms that fan is trying to spin @ 5,000rpms. I think advanced auto sold me a junk one.

    Clutch Fan won't disengage

    It really corresponds to the RPM of the engine. The higher the rpms the faster that fan spins.

    350 Vortec Cam Upgrading/Tuning/Chips?

    So i am buying a 97 350 vortec long block with an ecu and 69k miles for pretty decent price. Mild cam and shorty headers. also going to 4.11s should be a pretty dirty truck after this project.
