What year, motor? ... Fan clutch?
 
the deal with the fan is its missing a blade, which makes it very unstable, which will eventually wallo out the water pump, but wouldnt it leak? Ive orded fans from man-a-fre and the dealership but neither fit my stock fan clutch. And they want a fortune for a fan clutch but ive spent so much money on fans that i have no money for a clutch.
im going to get the radiator checked by a shop tommorrow, dad swears its the radiator not giving me enough flow.
The fan clutch appears to be brand new but has no markings.
its a 1984 Sr5 4x4 witht eh 2.4 with the werid carb.
 
Get a fan that fits, as the plastic fans age they harden, this can cause them to chuck blades. If nothing else get a good used stock setup from a wrecking yard? Is the shroud there and in good condition?

If your fan clutch is stock and the bearing is good, spins smoothly, isn't leaking, try changing the fluid. By upgrading to a heavier fluid you will get better cooling.

the fan clutch looks brand new and the shroud is in decent shape, held on in two holes by wire because the PO broke the bolt flush in the nut... It sucks ALOT of air, enough to pull zipties i had sitting on the intake tube into it and sling them into my arm, needless to say it stung. Im skipping school to go have a radiator shop test it and maybe repair it.
What radiators are swappable into my truck? Will they bolt right up or is it more difficult than that?
