I don't want to sink much money into the truck as it has a laundry list of problems and has a lot of miles on the chassis (probably around 350,000).

The fan is necessary because I occasionally pull heavy with the truck.

How are clutched fans supposed to work anyhow? It's not connected to the coolant, so how does the thermostat on the clutch "know" when to turn on?
