Which brand and where is the best source price wise? They are way more expensive than I was expecting! Thinking motorcraft, figure it's not worth messing with a used or aftermarket unit.
I live in South GA where we are getting close to the heat of the summer, and I tow 10-12K pretty regular. Is the HD clutch (plow package??) worth the extra $$? The truck has a BPD oil cooler kit so good flow thru the cooling parts is even more important.
Ditto this one. Over the winter I replaced my fan clutch with an OEM Plow Clutch and really like the difference. Helps to keep the A/C cooler when at idle and the overall, cooler temps when hauling. And, it's no louder than the non-plow clutch.
Bottom line....my vote is for the Snow Plow Clutch. I wish I had done mine sooner!
Interesting. After some research I'm liking the 97 Fan Clutch with BPD adapter. After owning 3 different 6.0 trucks I also do not trust the computer controlled clutch. It never seems to function properly when needed. Going mechanical with a little more noise doesn't bother me. Seeing EOT's under 220 while towing heavy in 95-100* temps is more important to me than anything else. I can live with a little noise for that . And it also appears to be cheaper.
I found my OEm snow plow clutch on ebay before they were popular i paid way less than retail
i like it but I still run an override switch
the BPD 7.3 is set and forget
