Product Overview
This adapter is for a planned mechanical fan-clutch conversion, often chosen when an owner wants a simpler service setup or is replacing a failed electronic clutch with a compatible conversion. It connects the conversion clutch to the 6.0L application; it is not the fan clutch itself.
Fan, clutch, shroud, and clearance choices still matter. Confirm the complete conversion parts and thread direction before installation so the fan runs centered and clears the radiator and shroud.
This is an aftermarket replacement part and is not manufactured or supplied by the original equipment brand.
