2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Fan Clutch 1999 Ram

I have tried the O'Reilly and a NAPA fan clutch and can't get a year out of them before I get overheating problems on steep grades, What clutch works??

Got mine @ Geno's Garage a few years back, still doing fine. I read that every year of use the clutch fan looses about 2-4 degrees of cooling efficiency, so I guess I got good use out of the original 1999 one. I forget but I'm pretty sure the Geno's one was a Dodge unit. Oh they ain't cheap, but beats replacing one every few years or overheating....

That seems to be the way to go, for reliability and value. I have went through a NAPA and O'Reilly clutches in less than a year
