I’ve got an Idi on a skid that I’ve been meaning to use as a template for some drop in/bolt on adapters to lock the cooling fan to the hub and the hub to the water pump. Could be a bad idea, I like to think of it as cheap insurance in the event the fan clutch fails as you’re going down the road. Pull over, grab your adapter out of the tool box, bolt em on and keep going. I’ll let you know when I make em, if you’re interested I might could send you a pair to try out
I've seen people cobble together things to do the same so the idea is sound. The only real issue that can come up is the momentum of the fan auto removing itself from the pump on shutdown but if you're adapter bolts to the pump itself, no problems.
Thanks Chris... I have 3 old Ford trucks that need to have fans installed...😊
It makes a difference for sure.
