I had a flex fan in my car for years and I doubt that's whats cause your car to run hot. It doesn't have a clucth to out. I would check something else. I know when my car was running out at idle (it would cool back down when driving) it was my water pump. I went to electric any way because it looks better to me. I loved my flex fan.

maybe what is best way to determine that route and which water pump is good may as well upgrade to something nice

Well it was sort of like trail and error for me. I just was going to replace stuff untill the problem went away and it so happen that it was the first thing I brought. I didn't buy anything fancy. Just the regular water pump from autozone. Summit has a high flow pump for pretty cheap. But if you flex fan has all the blades and nothing is wrong with it I doubt that's the problem. Mines pushed major air and I haven't came across another fan like it yet.

Does your fan have a shroud around it? If not that may be the reason for overheating. Flex fans haul some major air, but cause drag on the motor.
