Had a belt come off and tore the clutch fan wire off. I called Freightliner and they said that is is an obsolete part and have no cross number for it. No way that can be true. Anyone know anything on this, where I can get one, or any fix for it? It is a 2008 Discovery 40x, 350 Cummins.

Thanks

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!

Just noticed you are kinda new on IRV2 and wanted to say hello!

Sorry I cant't help with the part, but I bet there's someone on here who can!

Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!

You will need to find out what clutch the coach has, Horton, Bendix, etc. After that you may be able to find a cross reference or an aftermarket fit.

And, Welcome to the group!

Thanks for the replies. I will see what I can find.

The response from freightliner is so typical today. If it is over a couple of years old 'tuff luck". What is a person supposed to do? Junk the whole motorhome or whatever for a relatively inexpensive part. It just p*sses me off.

So is it impossible to diassemble enough to get to the wire.

They actually found one in Memphis. I was told it was the last one in the country. He said that you can make your own with the correct plugs if he was not able to get one. I am going to take pictures when I get it so I will have a reference if it happens again. Thanks for the replies.

I just ordered an anti-rotation bracket for my Horton fan.
Belt shredded and broke the bracket
I have Cummins ISC 8.3. 2008
