Fan Clutch

I beleive that my clutch fan is bad. My truck overheats when towing up a steep hill. I have never heard my fan lock up even when engine temps reach a well over 230 degrees.

Long story short...where is the best place to purchase the clutch fan?


Thank You!!!

Get from Dodge or Cummins. Have heard bad vibes on some aftermarket. You should definitelly hear fan come in around 210 degrees. Might even feel truck lose power. Make sure Radiator , cooler, A/C condenser are not restricted.

Thank you! Pretty sure Cummins will be cheaper.

Everything else is should be clear. Already pulled radiator and cleaned.

Enjoy retirement!
