Hello - I'm looking to replace the fan clutch for my 2002Silverado. After looking at some of the options on advance auto parts, I'mconsidering either the "Imperial Fan Clutch - Severe Duty - GM Trucks" orthe "A/C Delco" brand. A/C Delco ends up costing close to $100 more.Anyone have any experience with the imperial brand and can let me know if thisis a good choice. Feel free to recommend other options for a fan clutch if youlike.<o></o>

OEM or electric. Unless I am wrong the fan robs a bit of HP. There are kits you can install and eliminate the fan using electric fan(s).

Converting my truck to electric fans is on my to do list.

Have a 2001 Silverado 1500 4x4 5.3l. Went thru numerous clutch fans and finally moved up to an electric setup. Upgraded to a 34" radiator from Radiator Express as they mount right up to the top rail but different holes. Purchased a wiring kit from Just Chevys for around $150 and a dual fan assembly for a 2005 silverado for around $175 on E-Bay, mounts using old 28" holes. Found a local tuner to tune ECM so fans come on like a 2005 stock truck. Love the setup as it makes the front of engine clean looking along with easier to work on. Gained a little in HP and mileage and don't have to hear the loud clutch fan come on. Overall spent around $550 and worth every penny.
