I don't want to cheap out on the cooling fan clutch if the factory one is the way to go (proper specs.etc). Thanks for any feedback.
Dude, get the torqflo, I paid under 100 at autozone, works like a champ!!! It sounds like a semi, and pulled so much dirt out of my radiator, you wouldn't believe it, but now, never over 180 degrees, even here where it is 100+ degrees.
Why buy an OEM one if it didn't even last 8 or 9 yrs?
