Default Fan Clutch Question

I'm pretty sure the fan clutch needs to be replaced on my truck. Is the correct procedure for checking it? Is it cool engine no resistance , warm engine some resistance? Right now my fan has resistance when cool but I can turn it, but it won't spin freely if I push it. Thanks

there should be some resistance to it all the time but when hot it should be very hard to turn if not replace it
