Prior to our trip this past weekend I installed my 3rd new fan clutch.

Last year when our original clutch went out, I installed the Delco Severe Duty
15-4644...........It worked well but it had way too much cycling and loud roar
when it kicked in.

This June I installed the Delco Standard Duty 15-4947......I never heard it and
we ran very hot, I didn't have a temp gauge at the time but when we normally ran
1/16" below the 1/4 mark on the gauge, we were half way between the 1/4 and 1/2
mark with this clutch.

Last week I installed the Advance Auto Medium Duty 21-5046......Absolutely
Perfect !!! You can hear it when you first start up and then it quiets down,
while traveling it kept our coach in the normal cool range where the coach has
always ran, the same as when I first purchased it......I also added a temp gauge
and it stayed around the 200 degree range the entire time no matter if we were
going up hills, cruising, etc. We had full fresh water tanks and we're towing
the trailer with the Harley in it.


This is definitely the clutch performance I was looking for !

I plan to keep the Standard Duty as a spare, so I have a basically new 15-4644
severe duty to sell if anyone is interested.
