Re: Loud squeal on startup and sometimes while driving

Fan clutch is super easy to replace. I could probably do it in 20 minutes if I really go at it.

You can always grab a spacer from the local parts store for cheap, and use it to space the fan away form the pulley like the clutch would. If it still makes the noise, you know to look elsewhere.

Also, does the truck have A/C? The A/C belt is a PITA to tension properly, and it may also be a bad A/C compressor clutch.
