Change it?

Get rid of the fan cluch and fan alltogether!!

You talk abou8t the a/c off and defrost off, which would leave your Electric fan off if the engine is cool enough.

Then, you talk about changing your fan clutch?

I'm a little confused here.

The electronics, have nothing to do with your
belt driven fan clutch. I'ts an oil filled, viscous clutch.

Like many others, I got rid of mine over 4 years ago. LIve in a very hot climate, and have never had the gauge even go to half. I do have a 180 T stat.

By doing this, this frees up torque and HP at all throttle settings, by getting rid of the rotating mass-the clutch.

Try it, you won't be sorry.
