any reputable parts store such as carquest or napa should be able to get you a fan clutch, just buy the better grade of part.

they should also be able to get the spacer and flex fan, or if you prefer summit racing or a local speed shop should be able to hook you up also.

For much cooling, get the severe-duty version, Hayden 2797.

Brandi,

I agree with the above poster. I have had excellent results from napa's heavy/ sever duty parts. I love the off road u joints! Spend more now or even more later replaceing the same part again. I always buy the most expensive of the 3 options ( unless I am not going to keep the vehicle long). Usually the most expensive has a lifetime guarantee. Although that may not always be the case at napa. Still with auto parts u get what u pay for buy cheap and break down! You only want the best for that PDUDE 455, I know I would anyway! Congrats on the new motor and yes I am jealous!! I am also glad u listened to me when I told ya to just spend the dough on the six speed. I bet ya love it! Again very jealous!!

Get the Hayden 2797 it is the best bet. Got one for my Grandville and helped a lot with the cooling.

I always have used flex fans bolted directly to the water pump. You just need to do some measuring to figure out the right spacer to use so that the fan is in the right spot in the fan shroud. Does the radiator have a fan shroud on it? If not then that will help a lot during low speed driving and sitting in traffic.

ok folks, thanks for your input


I bought the best fan clutch NAPA had to offer, if that doesnt work, ill put the direct line and flex

yep, i have a brand new shroud.

There are 2 types of fan clutches you can install.

Thermal: This engages the clutch when temperature requires.

Non-Thermal: This is engaged when the RPM's are low, and begins to disengage as RPM's increase to keep the fan RPM at a maximum.

There's also Heavy Duty versions of the Thermal

There's also Heavy Duty versions of the Thermal

Then there's the Severe Duty version of the thermal.
