Re: Fan clutch going bad who sells the best replacement
It's been a long time, but I have picked them up in junkyards. Look for a late-model full size GM car or truck with a thermostatic clutch unit. Be sure the bolt pattern, shaft length, and fan diameter are correct.

Re: Fan clutch going bad who sells the best replacement
find an ACDELCO supplier in your town. They sell the thermostatic type for our trucks. this type of fan clutch has a wound spring on the radiator side of the fan clutch. The thermocouple type ( I think ) are all junk. I just looked and saw where you tried Advance. Try them again, and find their commercial accounts parts guy. The guys on the retail counter are usually about a sharp as a marble. Advance in my area is starting to stock ACDELCO.

Re: Fan clutch going bad who sells the best replacement
now it gets tough. IF you could get an ACDELCO catalog that has fan clutches in it, there will be a page that shows specifications. I think that there 2 bolt patterns where the fan clutch bolts to the water pump. maybe try and find a fan clutch with similar specs.
