Rattling fan clutch

All-
I've noticed when my fan kicks on (usually when I'm sitting at idle in traffic in Louisiana summer heat), my fan clutch is rattling. It's not a bad rattle and of course stops when the truck is moving again and I have air flowing over the radiator...

I've checked the tms (-10 and -20) and have not found a procedure to tighten it up. I've also searched the site and only found one (!) thread mentioning a fan clutch, and it turns out that wasn't the issue....

Can anyone please explain to me how to go about tightening it up?

TIA

Mine did the same thing. I think it's normal.

It really didn't bother me until I was at a parade and the Amvets were checking it out and an Army vet who was motor T for 25 years pointed it out to me, and now every time it kicks on it bugs me.

Plus I hate the idea of a small fix now becoming a large fix later if the clutch or fan fails, which causes the engine to overheat, causing bigger preventable issues.
