Sorry one of the "licensed" illegals mashed your truck. Similar thing happened to me back in AZ and totaled my pride and joy restored muscle car !
Thinking it's a clogged radiator rather than a fan clutch. Clutch is markedly tighter when at full temp; only spins maybe 90 to 120 degrees with a good, hard push. Aux. fan, on the otherhand, is erratic as to when it comes on if the AC is not on, so I'll replace both sensors/switches and get a new radiator.
