Gary, rotate your water pump with the fan belt off and see if you feel a rough bearing. A bad water pump will cause that. I had a friend who had it happen and the first time it cut his transmission lines. He had it fixed and a new fan installed and soon it did it again and this time it sliced his hood. It turned out that the water pump had a bad bearing and the vibration caused the fan to break.
