Engine Cooling Fan Clutch Overview

The SKP SK36940 engine cooling fan clutch is a direct-fit replacement for select Ford trucks and vans with counter clockwise fan operation. It is specified as a standard duty thermal fan clutch, making it a fitment-focused solution for cooling system service on Ford E-150 Econoline, Ford F-150, and related applications.

Key Features

• Thermal fan clutch design for temperature-responsive fan engagement
• Standard duty specification for common cooling system replacement needs
• Counter clockwise rotation requirement for listed applications
• Application-specific fitment for select Ford E-Series vans and Ford F-Series trucks
• Part number SK36940 for easy identification

Detailed Description

SKP SK36940 is an engine cooling fan clutch built for vehicles that use a counter clockwise, standard duty thermal setup. The fitment covers 1992-1996 Ford E-150 Econoline, E-150 Econoline Club Wagon, E-250 Econoline, E-350 Econoline, and E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, plus 1993-1996 Ford F-150, F-250, and F-350 applications. For buyers searching for a Ford E-150 Econoline fan clutch or a Ford F-250 cooling fan clutch, this part number SK36940 matches the listed configuration requirements rather than a universal design.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn fan clutch that no longer engages correctly
• Addressing cooling fan noise caused by clutch wear
• Restoring proper fan speed control in thermal cooling systems
• Correcting overheating concerns tied to poor fan clutch operation
• Matching the required counter clockwise rotation and pilot/nut configuration on listed trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s fan rotation, thermal clutch type, and hardware interface before installation. The listed Ford F-150, Ford F-250, and Ford F-350 applications require a 40mm hex nut and 33mm pilot, while the E-Series listings are identified by counter clockwise standard duty thermal fan clutch notes. Confirm the part number SK36940 against the existing unit and vehicle specifications before replacement.

Quality Assurance

SKP catalogs this fan clutch under a fitment-specific replacement format for the listed Ford applications. Confirm all application notes, including rotation direction and thermal duty specification, to ensure the correct match for the cooling system.
