Default Need a fan clutch that isn't garbage.

2003 Ram 1500 5.7 4x4

Need a severe duty clutch. I've gone through three pieces of s*** Murray clutches (all warranty replaced) within a few months.

They'll work great, once. The first time I pull through the mountains with the trailer they rock. Then something with that first use kills them, they lock on, then eventually with sustained high RPM they'll disengage and leave the chat forever. Had to do 8 miles at 233 degrees because it decided it didn't want to engage anymore.

I don't care about the price, I just need something good.

Does the dealer still have the stock originals?
