Yes the clutch fan is controlled by the ecm up until the 07 models including the ss's..
Have you had any cooling issues?? Anything seem odd with the fan??
Here's a pic of the fan off my SS,notice the wiring...

Well **** me...LOL, didnt see that coming.
yes, the truck was getting to 220 when i got it, after driving it and beating on it a bit to see how it would do, i guess the clutch fan got worse and was free spinning when it was off, but the fact that it got to 240-250 sitting still told me the clutch fan was **** anyways. Guess i will replace it of course if i have the cash and go from there, i am tempted to drop the bastard off and try to find money to have someone else fix it but **** that if you guys can help me, the guys at Trailvoy have not done much help yet.

I welded the middle where you remove the fan so that it is a direct connect fan with no slip, was a temporary fix and the belt slips at 5000 RPM because it is moving so much air, pretty well designed fan for sure.
Daaaaaammmmnnn, thats allot for a cold air but i guess you get what you pay for.

Well, looks like it is mechanic shop bound, i am just not getting enough info, i will replace the clutch fan with a new unit and then drop it off next week.
