I've had great luck with Rockauto. But if you can go for the OE replacement for a couple bucks more, I'd be inclined to go that way.DrBeavis wrote:wow, i cannot believe that i was just about to post the same topic! and i have the same exact year and model!
anyways, i hope that you do not mind if i semi-hijack your thread, Pete. took my wheels to the dealer earlier for oil change, and they said that the fan cluctch is busted. they quoted me $500 to repair, so naturally i seek the good old internet for alternatives. so far i found two:
- rockauto.com has Beck Arnley for ~$71 plush s/h
- partsfornissan.com ~$117 + $4.50 s/h
does anyone have any comments regarding these sources and/or parts. specifically, is the Beck Arnley any good?
thank you!
What are your symptoms? Decreased fuel economy? Noise?DrBeavis wrote:wow, i cannot believe that i was just about to post the same topic! and i have the same exact year and model!

just noise. i have not driven it much since my last visit to the dealership's service, so i cannot comment on the fuel consumption.disallow wrote:What are your symptoms? Decreased fuel economy?

I'm glad these things fail locked on, otherwise we'd have overheating problems.

i was thinking the same thing. however, i am curious as to whether or not Nissan manufactures its own fan clutches. i always assumed that such parts were provided by some 3rd party. does anyone know for sure?disallow wrote:I've had great luck with Rockauto.

And $4.50 shipping and handling seems cheap, I bet this clutch weighs 20-30lbs.
