AussieSuperliner Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Are viscous fan clutches for E9 V8s available still in the US ? Part #38MH315AMack Australia now only supplies a direct drive for the fan that runs continually, makes a lot of unnecessary noise and dust and makes the motor run too cool in winter.Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm sure you can purchase one here in the states and these guys will definite let you know if they are avaliable still. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I think you might be SOL on the factory viscous style fan clutch. I'm pretty sure that part was labelled obsolete. I put a Kysor air fan clutch on my 865 years back because you couldn't get the viscous clutch. I put that Kysor on my E9 can't get one to bolt up to the hub out of the box you have to machine an adapter out of aluminum to bolt to the hub then bolt the clutch to. I'll post some pics of mine later today so you get an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieSuperliner Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks for the photos Bad DogDid the clutch and fan come as a kit or did the original Mack fan still fit ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I think it's about 1500$, one local guy asked mecif he can borrow one until he get a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Superior Tubo and Injection in Detroit Mich put made mine all up as a kit for me about 11 yrs ago was easy to put on and it cost me about $1000 back then so $1500 might be more like it today.

kscarbel Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 No luckLooks like I am stuck with the rigid drive for now.Did the PAI distributor say their replacement version was no longer available, or that they simply didn't stock it?Horton makes the best fan clutches in the business, and they have a distributor in Victoria.NORMAN G. CLARK PTY. LTD.44 Kylta RoadVICTORIAHEIDELBERGAustralia, 3081 -17592+61-3-9450-8200customerservice@ngclark.com.au While they might have to contact Horton's U.S. headquarters to confirm the right replacement for your application, I'm certain that Horton has an on-off fan clutch for your truck. And it will be superior in performance to the viscous Schweitzer unit you had.If you insist on staying with the viscous, Schweitzer was acquired by BorgWarner. The Mack 38MH315A crosses to a BorgWarner 197703, which is superceded by a 197876.BorgWarner application chart: http://www.repsmkj.cr/catalogos/bwts/BorgWarner2006_Content.pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 How come when I asked for a clutch fan last fall I didn't get this info from you folks? Superior turbo just sent me a viscous fan. its brand new. part # SRF197703K $625 is what I paid for it. I should proof read before I post. Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!
