I have to admit, I have not used Auto Zone in the longest time. Compared to O'Reilly, I just got the impression Auto Zone chose cheaper, sub-par products as a general rule. Good to know they have a few quality products for sale.

I do like to support the guys like Summit and OEMPartsHaus and BP Utah, etc. This time I do need to get it and walk out with it today.

 

They've apparently stepped up their game at Auto Zone with made in USA fan clutches, OEM latest rev brake switches for 12.00, and bosch CKPS. I've used em more than Oreilly's lately and have been very happy.

 

You can also chill a little until you get whatever fan clutch you really want. While the fan clutch and water pump should be replaced together a delay of a week on the fan clutch wouldn't likely hurt. Of course I also understand impatience with these things - I WANT IT DONE NOW!!!

 

Thanks. I really don't have a preference, I just didn't want el cheepo depot junk - which I don't think I have. Likely go with the Auto Zone model. I appreciate the great feedback.
