It was time to replace my cooling fan cluch as my old one was getting tired… After reading recomendations in “the book” and few posts on this forum I desided to go with Hayden 2747 heavy duty cluch.
As my fan was updated type black fan, I had to trim fan blades just a bit so I could fit a bit bigger diameter Hayden cluch, but I would say it was well worth it.
Hayden cluch is a bit longer then OEM and I would say it fits better then OEM cluch. Fan goes a bit deeper into the shroud and there is more space for putting on fan nuts. There is still more then enough space left between the cluch and radiator.

John,
I will confirm that it increases the airflow. I had some warnings that my cooling wasnt what was needed and made tha same swap. Black fan + hayden HD. I also added the insulation around, under and along top rail. Temperatures were lowered quite a bit, and I no longer start to worry each time I slow to stop or when idling. Its much noisier when first starting, but quiets down within a few minutes. Ive got to admit that I havent had a chance to push it for a extended period, so I cant comment on how it would handle. I am very pleased with the change.
