Replaced the fan clutch which had failed and water pump belt yesterday. Took me 45 minutes of actual work and 2 hours of finding the damn screw i dropped. But at least my truck is quiet now, no more squealing on startup and no more crazy fan noise above 2k rpm.
Oh man, when the fan clutch goes bad.... sounds like the garbage truck when its idling up for a crush.
I did a camping trip with my son, before I knew it was bad (the truck is an extra vehicle we only drive it when we do truck stuff). and driving up the mountain was deafening and painful. I get back and tell my wife, and she was like "oh yeah, I'm glad you heard it" When she's driven the truck often over the last few months. She never told me, just expected me to Figure it out on my own...
