dude are you sure your clutch in your fan is working?

Im not positive. How would I go about checking to see if it does work. I already flused the system and made sure that there was no air in it. Its not getting too hot but its getting hotter than it normally does so i figure i would just stop the problem before it gets anyworse.

I get em for $35+5 core charge wanna keep going?

and to make sure your fan clutch works, spin it with your hand (WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF) and it shouldnt spin more then 1/4 of a full rotation
