I've searched for how to check to see if your fan clutch is bad and haven't seen my issue.
The clutch is very stiff when cold and stays stiff as it heats up (I stopped and checked it as the temps increased). It's never smooth when I turn the fan by hand and even sticks so that I have to pull on it harder to turn it. Also, you can always hear the fan going full blast as you accelerate from the stop sign (whether it's cold, warm or hot).
Does this sound normal? Van has 80K on it.
