ended up going to a local parts shop after I tried several of the big names around town and the local guy had me covered....he let me borrow the puller kit without paying a dime....I know where I'm taking my business next time....moral to the story is that it was a ************ to get done....took me and a buddy pulling and hitting with a hammer to get the old fan clutch out but once it broke loose that was all she wrote. My A/C does feel a little cooler but the real test will be when I get out of class tomorrow after the kon has been cooking in the sun for a few hours. I'll post up later how well it affected my A/C performance.

No body lift...and to answer the question it did fix my problem...my ad blows cold on idle now...and my kon seems to run a little smoother too. Also, a good way to test your fan clutch is while the truck is running try to stop the fan blades with a rolled up newspaper or just a roll of paper...kinda like when you were a kid stopping a ceiling fan with your hands...if it stops or slows to a near stop then its probably bad....if it mangles the newspaper beyond recognition then you probably don't need a new fan clutch. FYI mine was so bad I could not only stop it, but spin it backwards with the engine running....lol

Mine was doing the same thing...tried cleaning etc...no noticeable improvement. Ordered a fan clutch from O'rileys and all is better now. Mine would not break free so I had to use a strap wrench to hold the pump still...one good smack and the remainder was easy. Now it is much better...still blows a touch warm when first starting but maybe that is normal when it is 95F + outside.

Cool!! ( no pun intended) I would have assumed the truck would have overheated if the clutch was bad.. guess that's not the case...
