Yeah , I noticed the same inmy R/T .
With as hot as it is here (about 96-100 for the past few weeks) I have
noticed that after siiting in the parking lot all day , when I get in to
start the thing , the fan clutch is totally engaged and roaring away .
I'm guessing that the ambient temp. outside is surrounding the clutch
itself and when it gets to a high enough temp , the clutch will engage when
the engine isn't running . After I start it up and run it about 50 feet , I
can hear it disengage , until the engine actually gets hot enough on it's
own to re-engage it again .
