Fan and fan clutch....???

[6.9poweredscout]

i know i've asked before but i can't get the search to find my post... sorry..

i need a fan and fan clutch for my 6.9. it's outta a '87 f-350, i wanted a fixed fan but i don't think it'll work w/ the threaded w/p. what options do i have for a GOOD (i'll pay for the best $$) FAN and fan clutch? or am i best just going to Ferd and getting a new fan/clutch? i'm getting closer everyday guy's, i'll be knocking and smokin in notime!!!

Thanks
-Jon

MS tech fan clutch. They are in Babalon New York and make a modified fan clutch thats great. I have bought two of them.

my 6.9 has done really well with an electric, even when pulling it does ok. cheap too- taurus fan $15 thermostatic controller $40

Keep in mind that the guy with the E fan setup lives in the land of never need-um air conditioning. When I lived up there I had a gasser pickup that I rigged with an electric fan from a car at the boneyard and it worked GREAT, even towing a 22ft Silver Streak trailer, and that sucker was no lightweight....up there. But once I moved down here to the land of humidity and always need-um air conditioning, that E fan was woefully inadequate.

oops... NO ELECTRIC FANS!

How can i contact MS? do they sell the fan too?

if you want a fixed fan you can remove the spring on the front and that should lock up the clutch. i know the e-fan idea has no popularity in the idi forums but its becoming a popular mod for psd guys and when researching it i never found anyone that had gone back to the m-fan. around here i get away with a single but where its warmer most guys have duals

A water pump for an international truck has a bolt on fan, go find an older uhaul and look under the hood.

locking up the fan clutch

I dont know if i would lock up the fan clutch, just yesterday my fan and clutch assembly flew off my water pump and took out my radiator. The only reason i can figure this could happen is that they were locked when i turned off the motor and the inertia kept it all spinning and spun it right off the threads.
I could be way off the mark and maybe someone else could chime in, but thats my current theory.

could i drill the end of the w/p and nut and mabe use a roll pin...??

Hey Jon, I have a MS TEC Fan clutch that has maybee 10K miles on it, and a fan off my truck that I will sell you. It wont work with the Cummins. Let me know if you are interested.

This is good info! how much do one of those fan clutches run?

also, is there a way we can use a plastic fan?

oooo....i'm still looking, i am interested, i just need to see if i can figure out a way to get a standard flex-a-lite fan to fit somehow first. and could you measure the side of the fan? i think stock they're what...22"?

thanks,
