that reminds me...
Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.
Ted Nelson: Go on, I'm listening.
Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.
Ted Nelson: Yeah, makes a man feel good.
Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?
Ted Nelson: What's your point?
Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy, well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times.
Ted Nelson: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of ****. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.
Ted Nelson: Okay, I'll buy from you.
Tommy: Well, that's... What?

Hey James, the $230 has a warranty as well. So what's your point? Would you buy a $230 part without a warranty? I doubt it.

I've run that setup on all the 03-04's I've ever owned.

I learned to buy the fan clutch locally so that I can immediately trade it in under warranty if I find it to be faulty or underperforming. I don't know about you but here in TX if I need a new fan clutch, I need it NOW, not in 2-weeks. Buy you viscous fan at your nearest parts store and even if it's still working OK, warranty replace it the week before expiration. Keep the receipt handy.

Just want to make sure it's not there for balancing purposes or something like that.
When assembling the fan and the clutch did anyone use the circular spacer that came with the fan? My clutch didn't come with any bolts and I purchased the proper size at 3/4 inch long and with a lock washer it works perfectly without the spacer.
