Fan clutch recommendations

[Kat's TJ]

My daughter's 2000 TJ 4.0 has a overheating issue. (*sounds like that is nothing new ! ) The fan speed does not increase with engine rpm when the vehicle is up to temperature. It stays at a relative slow speed from cold to overheating. Water flow is good. No leaks. Was wanting to know if anyone had a recommendation for a manufacture for a replacement fan clutch? Thanks in advance.

Hayden is a good brand, just make sure to stay away from store brands like Duralast from Autozone.

source for a Hayden? What temp should it engage? I've read about 25 degrees below the stat which is a 195. Is that about right?

This one will engage/disengage at the right temperatures.

Hayden 2771 will work. Others who’ve used report that it’s much louder than the OE clutch. If you want quite, the Mopar fan clutch is your only option, costs around, $150.00.

That’s the one I used. Works great!

If it seems louder it's probably just that the new fan clutch is working as it should vs. the old clutch it replaced that wasn't.

Honestly I don’t notice mine at all unless I’m listening for it specifically. Which seems to be the same with the stock.
