Electric Fan Clutch
I just saw on Shadetree Mechanic where they had put a electric fan clutch on a Dodge Ram.
I didn't catch where they got it from.
Does anybody know about these?
They supposedly turn the OE fan on or off depending on tempature.
It looks like a giant A/C compressor clutch and mounts similiarly.

I was looking into the engine compartment of my '99 and it looks as if there already is an electric clutch, or am I wrong?

54regcab, you might want to look at the site below regarding the electric fan clutch. I think this is the one that the Shadetree guys used. The blurb indicates that is designed for a diesel engine but I haven't followed up yet to see whether it's a practical mod for a blue oval gasser.
