[Spridgets] 1500 Fan Clutch question

I have the GM alternator on my 1500 and it was a fairly easy fit. No
issues with it so far.
 
OTOH, I have no idea if my fan clutch is actually working or not... ;)
 
If you can go electric, that would be probably the better route. Free up
a pony or two from the engine as well.

I have installed GM alternator #7127 63amp (or #7134 80amp) on 1275s 
without too much trouble. The 7127 was $30 with a lifetime warranty 
from Autozone. 
There are other alternator conversions that are more plug and play. 

If the replacement parts are supposed to be press fit and do not stay 
then I would abandon that avenue and go electric, even going as far as 
upgrading the alternator.
