Spin on fan clutch and winches...

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

John,

        I still suggest doing what I did to my fan clutch.  When the clutch 
died, (free spin at any temperature), I ground the flange holding the steel back
on the aluminum body.  Cleaned all the oil out, and drilled/tapped the four 
holes for the fan blade all the way through the clutch et al.  Put 4 grade 8 
bolts through it and now it's a spin on fixed fan.  I got a shroud for the 
radiator (broke it when I rolled the truck) and now it runs so cool all the time
I'm worried that it's never gonna warm up.  Once more is that it's no worse than
any other Scout out there.

        I can't remember who it was that had the overheating condition in Las 
Vegas?  I think it sounds like your fan clutch is bad too!  Symptom: heat in 
waiting traffic.  Cause:  Fan clutch is not pulling air through the rad at idle.
Mine used to spin for at least a few seconds after I shut the motor off.  Not 
any more.

Please do Owen... I also have the screw on clutch and I know it won't last
forever.  I've been worrying they may be getting scarce.

Thanks,

        IH everyone,

        Just a quick note here on Ramsey winches.  The RE Series is the Worm 
drive unit that runs usually off a GM Delco Starter Motor.  The REP series is 
the inline Planetary setup unit.  Not as strong, but faster line speed.

        Hope this helps in selection.

BTW exactly how old is Tom that everyone is calling him a kid?  Personally I'll 
always be a kid, because I refuse to grow up, though the other Engineers appear 
to never grow up either.  I still hold that any child given Lego bricks as a 
child is destined to be an engineer?  Anyone refute this?

 just a kid, but 
being a kid is OK.
