Fan Clutch

Do new fan clutches need time to "break in?"

 

I got a new one Sunday night and it still hasn't unlocked by today so I took it back and got another. The new one hasn't unlocked today either so I'm not sure if I just need to give it some time or go get another.

    NO   I've never heard of that, should be good to go right out of the box.  It could be the aftermarket brand you're getting, try a different supplier.

    It shouldn't spin cold. The oil should be settle to the bottom and thick and it should be extremely stiff. Once started and driving a short distance the oil will spin back to the hub unlocking.

    Well my fan locked up again before I headed home. 125 miles at full lock... Guess I'll go exchange it.

I've got a good question? If all the dealers are sold out and OEM is no longer manufactured so where is Geno's getting there fan clutches at? Is what Geno's is selling a true OEM fan clutch? Make you think a second...

My local dealer could get OEM no problem. It was $260 plus the ride.

PDP has them

Genos says it's OEM, and it'll be easy to tell since I still have my old one and will be able to compare. Their image is of an OEM clutch.

@Mopar1973Man is the fan clutch actually produced by Cummins? It does have a Mopar part # number stamped on it.

New fan clutch on. It looks exactly like the OEM one, and it works PERFECT.

It took 1/4 mile for it to disengage after putting it on, and locked up half way while hammering on it. I have no doubt it'll fully lock like it's supposed to when things start getting toasty. (I'll verify this when driving home tonight)

Thanks everyone for the comments.
