Manual Cooling Fan
This may be a dumb question but I own a 2.3L 97 ranger, the cooling fan which is attached to the h2o pump is on all the time. I was thinking there is a clutch on the fan assembly which would engage only when needed. Am I wrong here or what ? Perhaps when the clutch isnt engaged the fan spins freely and when it does it spins faster !!!!
thanks !!!

the way a clutch fan works, is that when theres no air flow coming through the rad(at a stop revving the engine) the fan will always spin, however, at speed the force on the fan causes the clutch to relase and slip, making the fan not spine and instead uses the rushing air through the radiator to keep it cool.....

Not exactly correct. There are two types of mechanical fan clutches, one disengages the fan at high RPMs, and the other engages the fan at higher temps:
