    hi all
    I already swapped a 5.0 HO in my mav, i did not put SERPENTINE BELT otherwise i went for old style or V-BELT. I got a fan clutch so i requested for a maverick from the seventy's but the box said: REVERSE ROTATION. do i have the wrong fan? Should i change it for a Standard Rotation?

    any help is welcome

    thanks in advance

    Sounds backwards to me and you also need a standard rotation water pump.

    Thermal clutch releasing when cold and grabs when hot. the non thermal just grab a release base on rpm and drag. If you are going to keep a fan clutch instead of going to a flex fan then you might as wel go with the thermal clutch cause its the most beneficial.
