Mine has a little bit of play in it but it straight and true when running with no movement. so i dont know how bad it needs to be before you change it out
Yep you're from walton county LMAO!! that's something i would have done after a couple cases of beer and a few shot's of whisky

only one way to find out. rap a nice thick towel around your hand/arm.. then try to stop the fan when the motor is running... seriously
if you CAN stop the fan, then its bad..
EDIT: remember theres gonna be tension on the fan clutch (hard to spin). the only purpose for it is to "slip" when the engine is spinning. otherwise, if it didnt slip, you would have a super loud roaring under the hood. and if it didnt spin at all, obviously you wouldnt cool the engine down enough.
