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...

IMO, it's normal for the clutch to engage at right about max normal temperature range on the gauge. You'll hear the noise. Make sure you have a 50/50 water/ethylene glycol coolant mix. With that mix you should be covered up to about 230F before boil over. If kept stock, Ford trucks generally have very stout cooling systems. Another check you can do is see if there is any lateral/radial play between the clutch shaft and the fan itself. There shouldn't be any.
When working properly, the system will function fine at temps up to 212F. If it regularly gets over that, then is the time to worry.
