Wierd, I’ve never seen someone completely edit a thread like this. Anywho, the stock clutch fan is loud. Always has been and always will be. rip it out and wire in your own e-fan. Easy to do (just did mine recently). There’s a lot of threads around on different forums that will take you through step by step how-to. ---

I have like 3 or 4 clutch fans lying around. PM me if you need one. It is most likely seized. ---

Sounds like your fan clutch is seized man. I’ve had two go on me. To check try and turn the fan by pushing on the blades. If it won’t budge or turns like its grinding sand, it’s hooped. You can put in an electric fan for less than 40 dollars. I bought an old Sentra fan for 20 bucks. It only takes a little bit of trimming of the plastic to get it to fit nicely to the 240 rad. It’s got a 10" and a 14" fan, I think. You can wire them both into a constant power source like the fuel pump or just the small one and wire a thermostat in for the large one. Hell, you can even wire in a switch straight from the battery as long as you remember to turn it on/off :lol: Or just pick some generic fans up from Princess Auto/Autozone or something and wire those in. B-Wurm 😃 ---
