Come on guys, please think before crapping on the keyboard. I'm sure the guy with the fan clutch suggestion had to use use his d**k in order to type his suggestion...

You can stop a bad fan with a SHEET of newspaper. If your dick beaters are softer than a sheet of newspaper then I suggest taping some tampons on the ends of your fingers before typing so the keyboard doesn't kick your ***.

Listen here turd have you ever even worked on anything? Did you read the diagnosis? Coolant coming out of the cap and resi could be a bad head gasket or a cracked block or head. I have seen way to many of these jeeps were they thought it was something else and it always ends up whats wrong.

You're doing it wrong.

You were suppose to use a rolled up newspaper or your bare hands

My fan works fine but the next one that rolls into the shop with a bad fan is going to make you 20 bucks poorer. Can I have 20 bucks per?

You suggested that as a way to test for a bad fan clutch. A known bad clutch doesn't count.

This is true. Can't start saying "bad" fan to correct saying you can grab a fan with you hand to TEST if its bad
