well I think my fan clutch may be on the way out, when its cold the fan spinds pretty much like its attached to a idling P&W PT6A turbine engine when its at cold fast idle. something tells me its operating reverse of how its supposed to, the fan clutch should freewheel when its cold and tighten up as it warms up correct? it also takes forever to get to operational temp, which given the amount of air being moved by the fan doesnt surprise me...

ideas?
