Gonna hafta sorta disagree on that Rick, unless the fan is locked up all the
time, in which case I'd expect Jon would be complaining about the roar from
the fan. Never had a problem warming up on my '92 or my '00 Grand Cherokee
with that clutch fan. And besides, the engine isn't supposed to get any of
the cold water from the radiator until the thermostat opens. I know... he
needs to use distilled water. :-)
