06 Fan Clutch Noise. You're Clear for Takeoff

Hey all,
I'm new here. Recently bought an 06 Path LE with 80k on it. Very first thing I did was check the trans and replace the rad. Trans was perfect thank god. While replacing the trans, I thought I would replace the belt and tensioner as well as the fan clutch as it seemed a bit loud. I bought one off Amazon and after installing, it sounds like my truck is about ready to takeoff down a runway its sooo loud (hence the title). I mean, if you start this in a parking garage and someone is in front of the car, it could give them a heart attack. Its embarrassing really. The old one wasnt much better but I didnt drive it much before the swap. Obviously it was loud enough to warrant me changing it in the first place.
So, my question: Where do you buy a fan clutch that doesnt make your truck sound like a 747? I'd hate to see what the dealer would charge. The temp on my car is brilliant and I should not need a HD unit, especially with the new rad and fully flushed system. Its driving me crazy!!
