Hello,
Well I think the fan clutch in my 03 Xterra is going out because of the massive amounts of noise it is making and the play it has in the shaft. The xterra only has 40,000 miles on it. Do fan clutches just go out periodically or could I have cause this at one time or another? Anyone one else had problems with fan clutch. 2 weeks ago I did do some mudding with the xterra.

I've heard of fan clutches going out, but 40kmiles seems kind of early for that (mine has 95k on it and is doing fine). They're cheap at junkyards, and since they usually last a long time a JY replacement might not be a bad deal.
