Those are some very informative posts.
I still believe it was my old fan clutch that was causing the belt slipping because the old fan clutch was extremely difficult to turn by hand. I had to put a lot of force just to make it move left and right and on top of that, when it was installed, the fan blades had a lot of free play in the center of the fan clutch where blades attach.
Whereas, the new(used) fan clutch that I obtained, since installed, spins very smoothly and has no free play if i move the blade around.
*(by free play, (when standing in front of the car) i dont mean rotating left and right, i mean forward and backward movement)
I am no expert on fan clutches, however my theory is that my old fan clutch was seized up inside and was locking, staying on all the time, and couldn't keep up with engine speed after 2800 or so RPM and so, caused the belt to slip.
