It does disable it...but it still turns enough to create a slight airflow.
I normally took about 7-10 minutes for the truck to "warm up" inside the
cab...with the 180 T-Stat and the clutch fan. Now it only takes about 5
minutes.
There were two main reasons for the electric fans showing up on vehicles in
the first place:
(1) Transverse Mounted engines obviously couldn't use the conventional
method anymore
(2) Faster "Warm-Up" time creates less emissions on a "Cold Start"

How is that?.. I thought that the crank driven fan had a clutch that would
disable the fan until a given temperature? (Similiar to what an electric
fan
does anyways)
