    Hi Fernando Navarro, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
    What about the clutch sound. I take it your fan clutch does not relax which means it is frozen. Try to spin it if it is hard to spin then it is frozen. Which in that mode your truck will not get hot but it is over working your engine. Since it does not relax. Good luck.

Upon starting my truck I hear the sound of rushing air for about 30 seconds then ok; why?

I would say more than likely it the radiator cooling fan. For some reason some vehicles, no matter what temperature, the cooling fan clutch engages which makes the cooling fan run at full speed like there's no fan clutch.

It sort of makes it sound like the engine is revving up but it's simply the sound of the rushing air from the fan clutch making the cooling fan spin at full speed.

Hope this helps.

My grand Cherokee had the fan clutch replaced

If the replacement fan clutch is the correct fan clutch for the vehicle, you are probably just hearing the normal noise from the fan that could not be heard with the original fan because the original fan was not working.

I put a new fan clutch on, the pully where the fan clutch bolts to is now loose, oil coming from behind pully, and sounds like fan is hitting shroud cover , and the reduced engine power light came on .

It sounds like something went wrong during the installation of your new fan clutch. If the bolts are loose the fan may very well be hitting the shroud. Your new clutch is probably a viscous style clutch and is filled with an oil like fluid and could be the oil that you are seeing. If your clutch was not working correctly and the vehicle was getting hot it may have caused the reduced power light to come on.

Fan turns all the time. Replaced fan clutch and it worked okay for one day and now it turns all the time again.

The fan will turn all the time. It will spin at a much slower rate when the air temperature coming from the radiator is cool enough. Once the engine gets warm enough, the air going through the radiator will make the liquid in the center of the fan clutch get more liquidy and that makes the fluid go the outside edge and "grabs" the other part of the fan clutch causing the fan to spin at a much higher rate. Sometimes you can tell by the sound difference. Because my truck has a large fan, when the clutch "engages" it sounds like an airplane powering up at take off. Unless you have electric fans on your vehicle it will spin as long as the engine is running,

2002 TRAILBLAZER SOUNDS LIKE A JET TAKING OFF.TROUBLE CODE PO495. WHAT DO I NEED TO FIX THIS.

This is your fan clutch, that's what P0495 is, your clutch is not working properly. Therefore, it sounds like a jet because the fan clutch is constantly engaged. Very common from 2002-2--2004 TB's. Need to borrow some specialty tools like fan clutch wrenches from say Autozone, some Autozone's charge a fee and refund it when you bring it back. Been there done this with my 03'.

Fan clutch

Sounds like the fan clutch the way you described it. It could possibly be something else but more than likely the fan clutch. I would have to see it to diagnose more.
