I have a 97 Dakota, V-6 5 speed. This truck doesn't warm up, winter or summer. I had the cooling system flushed last year, new anti-freeze, thermostat. Since it got cold, I covered the radiator completely with cardboard and it still doesn't get hot enough to make you pull your hand off of the radiator or heater hoses when running. Before I have the cooling system flushed again and new thermostat, I'm wondering about the fan clucth. When you start it up, the fan turns fast with motor speed. I thought that it was supposed to turn slow until the motor got warmed up. I looked at a new unit at Napa, and it turned about as hard as the one on the truck. I watched it run for a while and shut it off, and watched the fan blades, and they started slowly turning backwards. Could the fan clutch be the problem? You can turn the fan by hand, how hard should it turn? When it gets real cold, doesn't matter how long you drive it, it will barely keep the windows defrosted. Temp guage barely goes to 150 or 160 degrees. Hate to spend $$ not needed, but wonder if I should start here instead of flushing and thermostat again. Chris
