Re: IML: Fan Clutch

The last one I bought came from Schucks/Checker over the counter. It cost about $35.00. I may have been lucky, but I never have had difficulty getting that part. It probably fits many different newer cars/trucks/motor homes. All factory A/C cars came with one. Some folks also added them to their non A/C cars, but it shouildn't have been necessary to do that. If you don't want to deal with a parts counter, try the web.
