Ford F53 460 powered fan clutch options?
Hello all, new to the forums. I have a 1997 Winnebago 34' on the ford F53 chassis. I would like to replace my fan clutch as I believe the original is getting weak. Has anyone found a suitable repl...

The bi metal that J&J mentioned is a coil spring it opens when the air temp gets to about 160 F, and lets a silicone fluid engage the fan. It does not work off the engine temp gauge which can be off quite a bit. Look for any leaking of this fluid, does the fan spin by hand more than one rotation when cold? The other thing to check on a 20 plus year old fan is any dirt build up on the bi metal spring right in the center of the fan, which could insulate it and cause it to come on later.
