Howdy folks.... while pulling my new travel trailer through the mountains this weekend I found out that my cooling fan clutch ain't doing its job. Well it will work if I pull over then start again but it won't turn on again till I pull over again. Had a few tense moments and she got a bit hotter than I would like but in the end I never hit RED thank goodness.
Ok so here is the question, Hayden Severe Duty Thermal Fan Clutch, AC Delco, 4 seasons or some other version.... any opinions out there?
Also While i am at it I am going to replace my AC compressor clutch that screams at me during hard accelerations has any one done this job?
Thanks,
Ryan

Re: Radiator Fan Clutch choice
Ok so I ended up going with the AC Delco thermostaticly controlled fan clutch, Amazon had this for $95..... this is quite a bit more than a few other after market clutches but after reading a few reviews many of the others seemed to have mixed reviews.
