Bad Cooling Fan Clutch Symptoms, Replacement

[@adriansinna7416]

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

[@tsiitalwu311]

Always a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos sir.

[@mdob5724]

Good description of a potential problem. Appreciate your videos.

[@georgerios7491]

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.

[@emmanuellopez1803]

Appreciate the video.. informative. Basically, what’s the torque?Fan to Clutch…? Clutch to Pulley…? Thanks.. Great day.

[@samlutz4724]

I noticed my fan is always on so I’m trying to diagnose it and starting here. I noticed the fan will move about one revolution but not as many times as the one you demonstrated here. It also is not as sticky as the new clutch you showed either though as it will spin slightly.

I have a Severe duty viscous clutch on my 02 Jeep WJ 4.7L V8 and it's heating up past 210°F slowly and normally runs at 195-200°F on inside gauge. If I'm going up hills, sitting at stop n go traffic and going under 60mph it doesn't go back down to operating temp. I checked the clutch and I think it's fine but I have a Severe duty clutch not a Standard or heavy duty so it is supposed to go 85-90% of water pump shaft speed. Would mine still be bad if it's not free spinning? Could a thermostat partially opening cause my symptoms at lower speeds? Can it be the water pump with no bearing noises? What do you think?

[@Terramoto73]

@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.

[@LAactor]

Is the fan for that engine direct drive or clutch coupled? Some don't have clutches and spin as the engine spins

[@FantaLaStrada]

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.

[@adriantidd3755]

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?

[@alejandrovalencia4672]

Hi I replace the fan clutch and fan blade on a 05 Colorado but when I drive and I accelerate I hear this jet sound air is this normal?

[@FJCHUMP]

Everything I've read say it should be easy to turn when the engine is off. I need some clarification. Additionally, my engine sounds like a garbage truck when I start it up. The fan in a 2006 Toyota 4Runner V8 4.7 should not be hard to turn by hand when the engine is off. If it is, there may be a problem with the fan clutch or the engine cooling system. The fan clutch is a device that controls the speed of the fan. It is located between the fan and the water pump. When the engine is off, the fan clutch should be disengaged, which means that the fan should be easy to turn. If the fan clutch is engaged, the fan will be hard to turn. This can be caused by a number of problems, such as a faulty fan clutch, a clogged radiator, or a thermostat that is stuck in the closed position.

[@GCAMACHO562]

How many years does a fan clutch usually last?

[@MarzNet256]

Question: Why does the fan even need a clutch as opposed to bring direct drive?

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Thank you Peter.

[@cferguson131218]

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

[@jrh11254]

@Toyota Maintenance- where have you been?!? Hope all is well with you!

[@KendrasEdge757]

He’s posted like 6-7 videos in the past 7 days , 3 in the last day. Probably not getting the alerts. Typical for KZbin.

[@symple001]

Is it normal for some fans to be on all the time??

[@DjeDrie]

Yes but if u try stop the fan it wont turn, its goint to turn even if u try to stop only if engine is hot enough

[@sc3ku]

Had two of these fail on a 74 and 76 Cutlass within a few years of each other. never gave them a second thought before the first one failed

[@sbrkwc]

LOL. I am changing mine this weekend too !!!

[@jesusfimbres2636]

Awesome video brother this is exactly what I need to know. Thank you! 👍😎💪

[@mnshahtk]

Great job 👍👍👍 well explained 👍

[@markreynolds3850]

Thanks for this video, interesting stuff

[@rk22cc]

Man you sure do like spinning that fan

[@TheSprinterVan]

Quick and concise, thank you

[@jakearnao5691]

Can it cause a transmission to rise in temp but the motor stays at temp

[@JaceD4V1S88]

i have a 94 previa, im gonna spin my fan and see if it needs replacing of the clutch

[@MontanaWelldigger]

Good information, Thank you!!

[@foldingchaise8387]

[@EdvinQuintana]

[@jonesy4588]

[@Fred705]

Excelente! Direto ao ponto.

[@gilbertpadilla4496]

good work remember when you could rebuild the clutch just add the grease

[@wolfeadventures]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@LAactor]

[@mankhalasiri5361]

After the third spin you’re just play with it. Ha!

[@jose.lgarcia5729]

He could go off road in a CA desert with a dead smart phone battery and DIE.

[@djmjay2]

I would probably use a bit blue lhreadlock on some of those bolts I have an ocd when it comes to torque and threadlock. Overkill I'm sure

[@jezztech]

why did you not show what happens when you start the engine with a brand new clutch, you missed an opportunity here.

[@Joe-sh2tf]

👍👍👍
