I already have a blue colored fan clutch in my 96, would this be an upgrade from what I already have? I have had problems with the AC shutting off while on the trail, slow rockcrawling, hot day. Will this help with that OR am I better off pulling the clutch I have and replacing the oil in it?

Car has 190k, do fan clutches usually wear out? should they be replaced or simply refreshed with oil?

thanks!

replacing the oil with a higher cst would most likely help. What I'm doing is advancing the timing so the clutch come in at a lower temp and putting in a higher cst oil so it pulls better at all speeds. So it will out perform a clutch with just an oil change.

Here in New England I've had clutches fail that just needed to be replaced. But we live in a harsh environment and that usually can account for most of the failures.

There is a thread in the 80 section if you want to dig deeper into your problem.

These clutches are brand new OEM units timed and loaded with 15k oil.
