Product Details

Hayden Fan Clutch 2783 is engineered for vehicles that use a reverse-rotation thermal fan clutch, including Ford F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, E-Series vans, and select Dodge Dakota applications. The severe-duty design supports higher cooling demand found in truck and van service, while the thermal operating style responds to temperature changes to help regulate fan engagement. This part cross-references Four Seasons 36951 and Gates 22146 for the same application.

Compatible With 1988-1996 Ford F-150, F-250, F-350 and E-150/E-250/E-350 Econoline applications, as well as 1993-1996 Ford Bronco and 1990-1991 Dodge Dakota reverse-rotation cooling setups. Hayden 2783 is also listed for 1997 Ford F-250, F-250 HD, and F-350 with 19-inch fan and air conditioning configurations.

Common Cooling Issues This Part Addresses

• Fan clutch slip that reduces airflow at idle or low speed
• Overheating caused by weak fan engagement in severe-duty use
• Noisy or inconsistent fan operation from a worn thermal clutch
• Cooling performance loss in towing, hauling, or stop-and-go driving
• Replacement needs for reverse-rotation truck and van cooling systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify reverse rotation, flange style, bolt pattern, pilot dimensions, and fan bolt circle before installation. This clutch uses a 4-bolt mounting layout with a 2.58 in. mount diameter and 0.63 in. pilot diameter, and mounting hardware is not included. Confirm vehicle-specific notes such as air conditioning, fan size, and severe-duty thermal requirements for Ford Bronco, Ford F-Series, and Ford Econoline applications.

Quality Assurance

Hayden 2783 is a new, performance-rated fan clutch that meets or exceeds OEM specifications. The Hayden Fan Clutch line is built for direct replacement service in cooling systems that require dependable thermal fan control.
