Has anyone had any problems where your Frontier is not accelerating as much and it seems like either the Fan is blowing a lot harder or perhaps there is too much air coming into the engine?

Yep indeed, I did have a fan clutch that was locked up and talk about airflow... engine hardly warmed up.
Can you spin the fan by hand?

You guys called it correctly. I just checked the fan clutch and it looks like it is leaking. Also, I tried spinning it by hand and the clutch is locked. I check my local auto zone but they dont seem to carry a clutch. Any idea where I can find one other than Nissan?

I have a 2006 Frontier 2.5L V4. This is the original Fan Clutch on only lasted 3 years so I'm ok with a non Nissan Genuine Part this time. I found one at Checkers that I'm gonna try.
