Cooling System Questions...

Hey, How do you tell if the clutch fan is going bad? my s4 keeps running at half way, but yesterday i cought it running a smidgen higher than that... and im teriably afraid of blowing it... Eventualy i wana upgrade to a Koyo Rad, but 250+ is a little much. Also what are other some things that would cause Overheating, so I could go ahead and fix/upgrade them before they have a chance to crap out.
Thanks
Tim

If it only overheats at low speed or when stopped, it's the fan. If it does it cruising at speed or under load, it's not.

^ Yah, he makes alot of sense all the time..

If there's nothing wrong with your stock Rad, why upgrade? Isnt that sufficient enough? Use that money for something else
Oh well, do what you'd of course....
