Message: [QUOTE="rusty1161, post: 1085517, member: 1386"] Well, I installed my fan clutch today. The temperature switch was installed a couple of days ago in the passenger side head, right next to the dipstick tube. That only took 20 minute or so and I lost maybe half a quart of coolant when I did it, I just swapped the plug and sensor really quick. The fan clutch install only took me 2 hours or so, and that included modifying the bracket for the anti-rotation strap, just like that thread from the ORG. I just flattened mine and drilled a new hole, and used a vacuum pump bolt to secure it. This creates two issues to look out for and I will be looking for a new mounting point when I do my water pump in the near future. I needed to get this thing roadworthy ASAP since it's my daily driver. First, this required pulling the vacuum pump pulley to use the bolt. Not a big deal in my driveway. Second, this location puts the strap inside of the serpentine belt and will require the fan clutch or anti-rotation strap to be removed to change the belt. That is an issue on the side of the road. I hooked up the harness and broke in the fan clutch per the instructions. I don't have the A/C switch or manual override installed yet, just waiting on some parts, but I should be okay for a few days. I will say, when that thing engages, even at idle, you know it. I used my original metal fan, good thing I didn't scrap it. I have a 6.0 fan for sale if anyone in Socal is looking for one. Thanks for all of the tips! I will keep this updated as time goes by.
