I 80 from Truckee to Reno is very steep. I was going very fast and I stomped on it. The water pump pulled apart. Beleive me it will pull apart if there is enough forward force. It is a pressed fitting. I have no idea if the fan was out of balance. I just know that the incident scared the hell out of me and could have killed me. After what happened I decided that like wearing a seat belt having a fan clutch is a good idea. It was like "oh yeah now I know why Volvo put that funny thing on there."
