With its all-aluminum body and multi-fin design, this replacement fan clutch offers superior functioning.
Features:
The fan clutch is an important component of most belt-driven fan systems. It ensures that that the fan is engaged at low speeds or high temperatures to provide adequate airflow to your vehicle's cooling system. When sufficient airflow is present, as is usually the case when your vehicle travels at high speeds, the clutch will disengage the fan to save on power, removing that additional load from your engine so that it may run more efficiently.
A thermal fan clutch relies on a thermostatic coil to read the under-hood temperature. When the temperature reaches a set level, the fan will engage to provide additional airflow for the cooling system. If the temperature drops to a set level, the fan will then disengage to save on power and decrease the load against the engine, thus allowing your vehicle to run more efficiently.

Jeff: Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this Derale Thermal Fan Clutch. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 1996 to 1998 Suzuki Sidekick 1.8 inline-four engine, a 1999 to 2003 Chevrolet Tracker and Suzuki Vitara two liter inline-four engine. Also works on the '99 to 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.5 liter V6 engine, the 2001 to 2004 Chevrolet Tracker, and Suzuki Vitara 2.5 liter V6 engine, and also the 2001 to 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.7 liter V6 engine.Now, this fan clutch is an important component of most belt-driven fan system.
It ensures that the fan's engaged in low speeds or high temperatures, and it provides adequate air-flow to your vehicle's cooling system. When the sufficient air-flow is present, as usually the case when your vehicle is at high speeds, this clutch will disengage the fan to save on power, removing the additional load from your engine so that it runs more efficiently.And this thermal fan clutch, this relies on this thermostatic coil right here to read under hood temperatures. And when that temperature reaches a set level, the fan will engage to provide additional air-flow for the cooling system. And if the temperature drops to a set level, the fan will then disengage to save again on power, decrease the load against the engine, allowing your vehicle to run more efficiently. Now, this one happens to be a standard rotation fan clutch, which means it rotates clockwise when it's viewed from the front of the engine.The thermal model we mentioned engages the fan based on the under hood temperature, ensures air flow when cooling is most necessary.
This is a nice aluminum construction, so it does allow for maximum heat dissipation. And as you can see, it's a multi-fin design, which will transfer greater volume of air to dispel more heat. Does use a heavy duty bearing with high temperature poly-grease, creates a more durable, higher functioning clutch, and this part is made in the USA. But that should do it for the review on this Derale Thermal Fan Clutch.
