i am not sure if i need a fan clutch because my fan blades seem to be okay they do not spin that easy and yet not to stiff either, but i get a lot of hot air coming in from the engine. I do not know what to make of that. my temperature gauge seems to fluctuate a bit towards the over heating side, but just a bit but worries me. I just changed my water pump so i could rule that out. second question: do parts from a Chevrolet or GM truck from later year model fit on my Chevrolet p30? i was planning on getting parts for it from the recycling yard instead of new when i could.

when truck is hot shut engine off and check radiator for cold spots and loose/corroded fins on side if you feel any cold spots then radiator is bad, this should be rebuilt or new not a used one.
