I don't think very many new vehicles have thermostatic clutch fans anymore. Most are electric. Puts less strain on the engine and improves fuel economy.

that most cars nowadays are FF and running a clutch from the side of the engine to the front would be way to much trouble

awesome! thanks for the quick replies, guys. yes, old thermostatic/clutch fans are a pretty big waste and parasitic

I'm just now switching over my 240SX's to electric fan assemblies
