97 ZJ 5.2L Fan Clutch OEM-- Price is crazy
 

Just got back from Cedar Point after about 10 hours of driving each
way.
When i left i had a kind of a knock at idle in some pulley.
Tracked it down last night finally.

Dealer Price - $454.00 - I called 2 different dealers - The second
dealer even told me to order from Partsource:-)
Local Part Monger - $81.00

I guess we are going Chinese on this part.

And the funny part is that Chysler does not even make the clutch fan,
it is out sourced like many parts for many brands and you know they
are not paying even 80 bucks for it from out source suppiier. I guess
if they cannnot make money on new cars they are trying to make it up
on parts.

For that much you could convert to an electric fan and free up a few
HPs as well.
