You totally should. For the record I always put green anti freeze in, not water. It turns out just like the radiator, the fan clutch from an '86 Ram Charger 318 is a direct fit... little trivia for y'all

Well, your first post said you ran antifreeze so I had no reason to doubt you. Idk where other people got that idea.

I'm running a heavy duty clutch fan. It basically sounds like an airplane when it kicks on.
