Wow! Big time help from all you guys. Very much appreciated.

1. Checked the pressure this morning (cold) and there wasn't any which is good news. (Cap came off easy and quiet)

2. Checked the fan clutch (cold) and it turns easily. Last night when I checked it hot I didn't rotate it far, just wiggled it a little. Am going to drive 15 miles soon and will try to move it from 12 o'clock to 4 and see what happens. I'm thinking that it might be the fan clutch.

3. The belts seem fairly tight to me. One of the double belts that runs to the water pump may be slightly weaker than its counterpart, but nothing drastic enough to adjust.

4. I just cleaned out the AC condensor a bit and straight a bunch of the fins, but again, it didn't seemed damaged enough to make much of a difference.

Thanks again,

Don
