We've got 2 responses here in favor of the ZJ fan clutch.......do they freewheel at normal temp, or r they noisy/roar all the time? The reason why I ask is, we tried a HD fan clutch (not the ZJ clutch) and removed it promptly due to constant roar.

The ZJ clutch isn't constant, but it's noticeable.

Too noticeable for me in my Comanche Pioneer that's otherwise almost stock.

Sooo...
I guess I'll take a shot at whatever flies off the shelf at Advance Auto then. Especially since I found out my cracked head replacement came from them. Maybe call it the "Advance Auto Special", eh?

If you haven't had any problems up until this fan clutch went bad, a stock replacement may be fine.

3 guesses and the 1st 2 don't count which is the HD clutch and which is the XJ clutch.
