    Question...

    Can I "lock" the fan clutch in the engaged position?
    What would be the negative of this?

    Why NOT have it engaged full-time?
    thanks,

    It would constantly sound like a prop plane about to take off...

    Well if you can't get a new one why not go electric? it may actually be cheaper in the long run
    cheers

    I think I'll attempt to lock the original one into engaged mode. If it's ridiculously loud, I'll try to find a used fan clutch. If all else fails (I don't want to buy a new one)... I'll try Electric.

    Thank you to all who posted! You guys are a great help!
