no not really.
the only other thing that woudl be easy to change right now would be the fuel pressure regulator spring. the base part number for it is 9T517. the updated kit should have a blue spring in it.

Ok, So the new fan clutch is installed coolant system is flushed and filled, trany fluid topped off. The ? is does the engine fan run quietly at idle even when cold, I sure cant hear it any more while driving but it still spins at start up.
