OOps I posted this already in the wrong spot. I have figured out my overheating problem. My fan has no resistance at all reguardless of temp. I need to replace the fan clutch, where can I get the best deal on one?

Rob a replacement one or a factory correct rebuilt unit?

Have you joined the NCRS yet? if you need a factory correct there is a fellow who advertize in one of the by lines I think his name is fred olivo.

If you want just a replacement one try the loacl auto parts store

Fred's stuff leaks and doesn't work. Don't waste your money with him.

hmmmm
Ken,
JohnZ is not someone I would disagree with too easily when he gives out info.
I take it you must have had a bad experience with Fred though?

Rob Jones, I took care of your previous post in the other thread.

I'm with Barry- JohnZ has yet to point me wrong. Can you explain your concerns, Ken?

THREE leaky clutches that do not work. OK for judging but not for proper operation.
What part of leak do you all not understand? Like all over your hood and motor a bunch of silicone grease that's a real ***** to get off.

The GM replacement is still available, although it's getting close to being discontinued - P/N 3916141, around $150 or so, depending on where you buy it; it's an Eaton coil-spring clutch, identical to the original except it's ink-stamped "CK" on the front.
