Oops, the top of my message got cut off. Here's the question:

How do you test the VC for the radiator fan? my truck doesn't overheat, but I don't here the fan engange either.

When the truck was at normal operating temp, the fan spins, but probably not full rpm. When I spin it manually at temp, it offers some, but not allot of resistance.
