Mostly stock, 258 c.i.d., T-176 tranny, Dana 30 front, AMC 20 rear, Dana 300 t-case, 31x10.50 tires, 2 inch body lift
I had to replace the water pump on my Jeep. While I was in Advance Auto Parts, the parts clerk told me that I also likely needed a new fan clutch. Not wanting to argue with the young lady, I added the clutch to my purchase and came home to find (as I thought)...there is no fan clutch on my Jeep!!
The current set-up has the fan blades directly mounted on the V belt pulley with through bolts that go into the nose of the water pump.
Did all '86 Jeeps come with a fan clutch (if so, how would I mount the thing to what I currently have??), or is the current direct-drive fan set-up correct for a Jeep without A/C?
