    Im thinking of converting electronick fan clutch to air fan clutch on d-13 engine. I assuming it could be done just wondering if it will not take to much work.
    Why im doing this one of my truck been in accident and the front end is cdamaged and i have another truck wich was also in accident but jack knifed. The one jack knifed has air fan clutch the one with front damage has electronick fan clutch. Im thinking to swap parts with out purchesing new fan clutch.

    If both trucks damaged have working fans then it's a exercise that does not solve problems, but causes what we say in the south "Spinning money" as in stuck in the mud spending to no where.

    Try it and see. Much of trucking the parts are interchangeable the further back you go in time.

    You will have to have ECM re-flashed.
