Proper fan clutch operation

I had an aftermarket fan clutch installed after the OEM failed at 65,000miles. I only have a few thousand miles on it and ever simnce the weather got warm it kicks on during normal driving an is annoyingly loud. any idea if it is faulty or should go back to the garage where i got it?

going to the shop mighy not be the issue the issue could be the aftermatket clutch there made cheaper for a reason and becuase of that comes on louder and sooner

Aftermarket fan clutches will kick on sooner then the factory one, it is additional cooling which is good, but at the cost of gas mileage. . . if i were you i would put on an OEM.

I agree, for the $20-40 premium, OE is the way to go.

I literally just finished installing a new one less than an hour ago... wish I knew aftermarket kicks in sooner than OEM.

Eh, whatever. I got it for 68 bucks shipped.
