Change it?
Get rid of the fan cluch and fan alltogether!!
You talk abou8t the a/c off and defrost off, which would leave your Electric fan off if the engine is cool enough.
Then, you talk about changing your fan clutch?
I'm a little confused here.
The electronics, have nothing to do with your
belt driven fan clutch. I'ts an oil filled, viscous clutch.
Like many others, I got rid of mine over 4 years ago. LIve in a very hot climate, and have never had the gauge even go to half. I do have a 180 T stat.
By doing this, this frees up torque and HP at all throttle settings, by getting rid of the rotating mass-the clutch.
Try it, you won't be sorry.
