Going stock, no more "flex"

After further research, I decided to get rid of my flex fan and put a clutch fan in it's place. I know the best method is to go electric, but that would have been about 3x what my Derale fan & clutch cost.

The flex fan just got a little scary for me, haha.

Re: Going stock, no more "flex"

I installed the new fan and clutch yesterday. Very pleased with the quality of the parts (all made in the USA from Derale). Runs just as cool as ever!

The fan and Clutch don't weigh much more than the spacer and flex fan that I had did, just in case anybody was curious.
