They tend to , yes , but they coast a bit and generally lag behind the pulley in overall rpms , especially during acceleration. But after the silicone heats up , it's definitely a 1:1 ratio , or at least it should be. I'd say it's a statistical impossibility for him to have gotten 2 bad fan clutches in a row , so something else must be wrong here.
