My truck is a '06 with intermittant sqeals from the belt. Last week, with 29K miles on it, the fan clutch seized burning out the water pump and destroying the belt. I wished I had been pickier about tolerating aggravating noises on a new truck.

bamerson;
Not to dispute your word but: How did you come by this information?
... When the cooling system is normal it is the job of the fan clutch to reduce the power applied to the fan. If it locks then the fan operates as if there were no clutch at all. It would seem more likely that a bearing in the water pump went out putting an overload on the belt.
BTW… I do remember one time when I was wrong… 
Have a good one and see you later… Don S..
It would be nice if our members would add their vehicle information to their signature (similar to mine) plus add their City and State .
A member in the same town might be willing to drop by and help you with a problem. Or drink all your beer! One took my wife!... J/K
