Default Fan clutch

Have been changing out parts and ends up it’s the fan clutch.
04 1500 hemi
anyone recommend a manufacturer for fan clutch
have had the truck 16 years and have been blessed to have been able to keep her in exceptional shape and just got to the 120k mark.
im also running RP HPS and she really likes it. For over 10 years I used Mobil one but she always used or blew out at least a 1/2 qt every 2k but holding all of the oil at 4K mark with the RP HPS 5w30
thanks for recommendations on a fan clutch
cannot seem to find a Mopar fan clutch for it

I got rid of the clunky fan clutch and have been running this on mine for the past 6 years. Well worth every penny I put into it.

I've got a Hayden premium fan clutch which was installed back in 2012. It's still going over ten years later, hence my recommendation.

I truly appreciate the input. Found a Mopar part for about 200. It makes sense for me right now to just go OEM as 90% is still stock and is such a solid and good running truck after 19 years on the road.

Default Intake tube

I got that Air-raid intake tube about 8 years ago. I use a drop in gauze filter unless I plan on being in dusty conditions then I swap it out for a paper filter.
