Re: [Chrysler300] Re: 300H fan blade diameter/ noise

Mike, let me know if you find a source for a fan clutch. 

Five or so years ago I bought one from George Riehl, but I understand that he no longer has a source for them.

Hmm, mine is 18 inch. The clutch is free to rotate. I have noticed it makes a fan noise like it did years ago when the clutch failed, as though it were locked up.
