You are the ONLY person who actually shows the fan rotation which is exactly what I wanted to know. I wanted to know how much free play the fan should have when it is cold and no other video actually shows it. All other video's just say that there should be resistance but dont show how much resistance. Thank you. I finally realised that my fan clutch is stuck and does not allow the engine to get to operating temperature. Thank you
I have owned those wrenches since your video on them! They have saved so much blood, cussing and screaming! 😅 I love them and think of you every time I use them! So glad you shared them with us!
[From the UK, May 2023] As ever sir - thank you for these excellent, detailed walk-throughs - including all the useful context & background knowledge. You're helping me to keep my 2008 120-Series Landcruiser on the road (1KD-FTV). Arif
I'm using a flex fan from LCEngineering for my 2rz turbo, been over 10 years and it never needed replacement or broken down. They are around 100ish. Was noisy when new, but quieted out after a few months.
Great video. Now I can check my cooling fan clutch on my old toyota pickups. Also, if I'm overheating it could be the cause. I noticed that the coolant level was close to being too low. Maybe topping it off would be a good idea.
@Toyota Maintenance would this be the same issue when the fan clutch does the opposite? I have a 22R-E and the fan never seems to decouple from the engine.
My 3rd gen 4runner is overheating when offroading in sand when heavy on the throttle but street and hard pack dirt its fine. I have a feeling this may be my culprit
I have a 96 Tacoma, that I bought new in late 95. My engine fan is engaged at all times. No check engine light is on. I live in upstate NY and even when it is 20 below zero and engine is cold, fan is engaged. Is it time for me to replace the clutch?
