Also, On the map, I don't know what a Cencal build, squated trucks, plan b fab, etc means.
I do know rusty **** boxes and they need to stop sending them down here. They don't pass our safety inspections.

Nope just one tree and a bunch of explosions, not sure where the explosions were coming from. I shot the thing a bunch from the doorway and windows. That's it, I think I lost.

What else do you advise is worth changing along with the water pump?
if a tech is doing the job and getting paid, best to change whatever else is getting old during the tear down.

Any bolts & screws ?

- fan clutch √
- fan blade ?
- accessory belt ?

Which one is a more durable fan clutch of these two Motocraft Rad. Fan Clutches ?

One is a "Heavy Duty" and considerably cheaper than the Motocraft model in the blue section.
The "Severe Duty" fan Clutches indicate they are reversed clockwise in rotation.
No Motocraft fan clutch option in "Severe" .

YB3042 looks like a standard fan clutch.
My truck had A/C but I removed the system yrs ago and plugged up the lines.

These are the options for the "Severe Duty" Fan Clutch.
considerably cheaper, but they indicate reverse rotation.
Would that be OK for my truck?
No Motocraft option though for Severe Duty.

No clue if they would fit an M30 hub water pump.

IMO you are over thinking this. If the MC one is still going strong why chance it with a cheapo aftermarket

GR is your fan clutch actually bad or are you replacing just for the sake of replacing it?
