Does anyone know if there is a Mechanical Fan for 4.4 V8??? The Fan Clutch on my wife's 06 LR3 with 189k is going out and after replacing the AC compressor I am not really wanting to drop Big money on a new electric fan Clutch.
Benny says its hot with no AC....

I’d put a used one on it, had no idea they were $500 new. I may be incorrect but I believe they need to slip/stall at highway speeds for proper cooling, it’s not just about MPG and efficiency. Otherwise I’d just tack weld it.

 
4.4 is a pretty solid engine but like anything aluminum, cooling cooling cooling! One good over-temp and those heads are toast!

Plenty of great options out there that do not need to be factory part and just as reliable for a cheaper buy-in; I'd replace it ASAP if you are seeing signs of failure.

I think NAPA and Oreillys also rent the tools for dirt cheap to pull it and if not I'll send you mine as its a reallllllllyyyyyy easy job to swap the fan!

If you need a video let me know and I'll pull mine off for you and take a video as I just did my water pump again and I'm pretty quick.......lol
