I am having problems with my fan clutch cycling on and off every 3 seconds while pulling my trailer on hot days with the overdrive off. In overdrive it works normal. The dealer said a new fan clutch is $330. Any options for electic fan kits?

Towing in the depth of summer heat(especially heavy loads and steep grades) the fan will cycle on and off,perfectly normal.

If you really do want to install a new fan clutch,the auto parts stores like autozone or Oreillys carries it new for around $200 which may come with a lifetime warranty.

If you choose to purchase one,you'll need to rent or borrow the fan clutch tool,it's a huge arse open end wrench.
