I have to buy a whole set up because I bought the jeep with no mech fan. So I want the best I can get for about 60-70 bucks. Is there something I can upgrade too since I have to buy everything anyway, say a better designed fan? Or a better brand clutch?

It is. And its IMO pretty much pointless.

OP get a JY mechanical fan (just blades no clutch) and buy a new Hayden stock fan clutch. Oreileys has a good price on them.

Do you mean YJ as in jeep? Or is that a brand abbreviation?

I'd say you need a fan clutch. If not your probably want one. The fan is noisy constantly on and that the only way I see one not need a clutch.

Just get the stock setup.

Yea junk yard.

$36 for clutch from O'Reily
$10-20 max for fan from the JY

If not a JY then check the for sale section on part outs, bet someone will let one go cheap. Hell I've probably got one I could sell you.
