Anybody heard of an electric fan clutch for my dodge diesel?

I've heard it's possible to retrofit one from another application for some big bucks...the factory clutch is pretty good at what it does--why do you want to switch?

 

I think it running more than it should. I thought a seen one years ago on a dodge. It would be nice not to have it running and sucking power and fuel.

Horton used to offer a retrofit fan clutch for our trucks that worked great but was very pricey (like $900!).

They decided not to continue supporting the Dodge application in 2002. But guys have made them work.

that is a little much for a fan clutch. probably why no longer being offered.

I tool the fan off and drove it today. I seems better. More power. running a little less boost going down the road. Mybe it made a difference.

That fan sucks quite a few ponies, no doubt. I was runnin hard up through the gears one day when the serp belt snapped--it felt like a nitrous hit! My concern in your case is why the fan is running more than it should..perhaps your overflow bottle has gummed up the radiator?

 

radiator is clean. I cleaned all the bugs out of it this summer. I pulled it out and power washed and clean inside best I chould, not because i had a problem but just to do it. I think the radiator wieght alot less going in than coming out.
