   I guess the fans were incorrectly replaced before I bought them, 
then. Learn something new every day.


   In any case, a clutched fan will not necessarily take up all the 
slack of highway driving air flow, when forced to slow down suddenly. 
Air-forcing from high-speed travel moves a lot more air through the 
radiator than even a locked-up fan at idle.
