Still having fan clutch problems

Car is stock. I have replaced the fan clutch twice. First one was a duralast one and now a new oem one and still having the noise and drag on the engine at speeds under about 50mph which I didn't have with the original one until it went bad. When it did go bad it was loud all the time. Replaced water pump when i replaced the fan clutch the second time. Has anyone gotten bad fan clutches that were new? I know the oem one probably was in the wharehouse in Tennessee for a long time. Wondering if that could affect the silicon? Anyway any ideas?

Just put another new oem fan clutch in my KA today and its actually worse than the first oem replacement. I hear it slightly all the time even at constant speed. HP is down. Very frustrating. My engine is great with exception of this.

I thought GKTech just made fan blades, do they actually make a clutch?

i don't think they do. He just said that because the fan is supposed to pull more air in at the same revolution so the fan clutch shouldn't have to engage as much supposedly.

I experience this as well, only for the first few mins my car is running. Never bothered me as I just pulled my KA to go SR.

I turned the fan by hand today and it spends between a 1/4 - 1/3 of a turn. Is that normal for a good fan clutch or should it spin more than that?

It shouldn't spin super freely, but you should be able to turn it with your pinky quite easily.

You understand how a viscous clutch fan works, correct?
