Just got it all buttoned up. Took longer to take apart because I forgot you don't unbolt the fan from the clutch until AFTER it is all slipped out of the truck. Went in smooth. All hooked up ad fluids topped off. Took it for a spin. Right at 200 on my current temp gauge it kicks in and...

I just came across a rebuilt fan clutch for $200 and ordered it. It comes from a reputable vendor. Just going to put it back stock and deal with it. Could be fixed under $20 with o rings. But going to take almost as much time and will still have the old clutch parts that can fail at any...

Just ran into town and have unhooked then solenoid so fan runs 100% and no fluid to the clutch. Ugh. The odor of the oil blowing back was bad for a bit. I’ve got to fix this but just no time right now.

I looked into that. But if memory serves me I needed to have the serpentine belt pulley. Maybe I’m wrong.

By the way, this is a good part number. Looks to be about $9 - but there is a second one in there I'm not finding. This one is no problem at all. The other one is smaller by far.

I also found a full rebuild for the unit on Ebay for $200. But...at least for now I only need the o-rings. Like you said - $2 for o-rings or $200 for the whole kit and the better half of an afternoon to install it - I'll go for the $2!

You are not wrong. There is a reason for the way that it is. However, I do also have to wonder if there was a high quality electric in place that kicks on around 180 instead of over 200...if that early run on it would be enough to keep the area cool even as the temps around rise. Also...

I've looked at various 24 volt fan kits. It doesn't seem any of them move the CFM that would be needed. Most appear best to be used as fan assist as a pusher on top of the cooling stack. I'd prefer to put one large one in the current opening of the mechanical fan. It would be quieter and...

I'm not feeling confident that I can match an O-ring from that TM info. I can of course take them out and go to Napa and see if they have anything to match up. There are only two on the front cup as I remember - one pretty small and one bigger one. I can also unplug the relay and just lock it...

I will send you a note tomorrow. I’d love to learn how to search and use the TM.

I’m sorry frank. Not sure what you mean. You think the oring size is in the technical manual? I am terrible at locating info in those.

Noticed my otherwise flawless fan clutch is weeping fluid. I've found a possible rebuild kit around $200 and noted these things tend to be out of stock or stupid expensive in the $500 plus range, When I replaced the water pump I put a close fit o-ring from in my shop in the front nose where...
