Umm, not sure. Question: Why would you want to go back w/ a fan clutch when going electric is easy and helps reduce a lil drag on your engine?

If you are looking for a different blade, I've had good luck with a HD clutch and a FAL metal replacement blade. I live in So AZ, which might be comparable to your hot So-Tex climate.

That said, I would agree with going electric if you dont already have a new fan clutch (they're pricey, and that money could go a long ways towards covering a junkyard Mark VIII and quaity fan controller).

Good luck.

Thanks guys I do have a Mark VIII fan and a DCC unit, but lately I've been having trouble. Power to the fan shuts off and car starts to over heat. I just want to drive w/out having to constantly be looking at the LED power indicator for the fan. Need to go over the wiring and make sure there is nothing loose.

I'd do the same and check the wiring. If no luck, I'd then contact Baskin.
