(I hijacked my kid's YT account to send you a message....) I have the same truck and same problem and your video was spot on for my fan clutch fix today. Your video was a huge help and likely saved me a bunch of $$$. So, thank you for posting it. The repair was really as easy as you show.
@@jacobhendrickson8935 Hi... I saw an email with your question. I wish I had an answer about the fluid disappearing. When I pulled the fan clutch, I didn't see any indication of leakage. And, after I removed the bolts and popped the seal, it wasn't "dry" inside but I could tell it did need some fluid. So, I added some only to find out after I put it all back together and installed it that I added too much. The symptom of too much fluid is that it engages the fan much sooner and doesn't release. Loud fan sound pretty much all the time while driving. Definitely annoying and decreased my gas mileage. Moral of my story: go buy a new fan clutch and save yourself the hassle of an inaccurate rebuild. Once I installed the new one, fan noise level diminished noticeably and gas mileage went somewhat back to normal (which was not that great to begin with....). Hope this helps.
Lawson Matthews Music I somehow must have commented to you comment. I meant to comment to the person who posted the video. My bad. All you had to do in your situation though is remove some of the oil when you added to much.
I wish more DYIs were like this. No BS, useful, straightforward. Not like the phony poser hipster and millennial on some of the other Tacoma help sites. Nice job.
Good job. The silicone oil is expensive, especially from the dealer. But it's much cheaper than replacing the fan clutch that might not work. Your floor finish looks great. The concrete team did a good job. In the past, I made a mistake and hired some wrong people to pour concrete and they didn't do a good job.
I had to do this twice haha. The first time I put 2 bottles like you but it was too much. The fan was loud as a jumbo jet at 4000revs. So pulled it out again and took the equivalent of half a bottle out with a syringe, put the fan clutch back in, and now it's perfect. I must have had a little oil in there in the first place. Thank You All Tsab for taking the time to post this on youtube ... :-)
Thank you for the straightforward video man! My fan started making some light squeaking noise when i start my car in the morning (40 deg F) and at low speed 10-15mph I can hear the fan squeaking very lightly but it still bothers me. Should I bother worrying at this point or wait til it loses more power like you've shown?
oil referred to here by part number is a 3000 cst silicon oil. there are also 6000 and 10000 cst available with latter part number saying 3000 6000 10000. you can get similar viscosity oil from hobby stores that they use for RCs for less. many have reported using 10000 cst in towing applications with great success. but please do your own research.
Excellent information. Here are the silicon oil part numbers for Toyota for 6000 and 10000 silicon viscosity. It's 08816-06001 and 08816-10001. Do you have any links where 10000 CST was used for towing? For the first-gen Tacoma, there are two fan clutches. Fan clutch colored orange is for a Tacoma without the tow package and fan clutch colored green is for a Tacoma with the tow package. I am thinking the difference is silicon oil viscosity inside the fan clutches but unable to confirm it.
I got the 10000 for my 2RZ a few years ago. Made a tremendous difference. I added an aftermarket trans cooler as well. Great for tow / hauling up mountains in the hot summer with the AC blasting.
What if the fan isn't coming on at all, just buy a new fan clutch? They are only like $50. My truck has 180k miles so just buying a new one isn't the end of the world
Auto part new fan clutch doesn't work like it should. I believe they didn't have enough silicone in the fan when you buy one to put in and it still over heat
This video is garbage other then giving you info on how to take apart and the part number of the silicon. What's needed is diagnostics such as what if fan stays on constantly on how much actual fluid to add or what is the capacity called for in the manual.
@@alltsab I know I just purchased an Aisin fct-013 off Amazon for $85. That is the OEM manufacturer so rebuild all you want with $40 of silicon and clueless as in how much it actually takes
@@alltsab you’re the dummy that went to the dealer for two tubes of lube for yourself. I don’t go to dealerships especially when I can get delivered in two days from Amazon. It’ll be here tomorrow😛

Gotta love these old yotas. He didnt need a special tool or have to take off anything extra to get the fan off
That's not the way most things are on these engines. This is an extremely rare exception!

Ok but where did the original fluid go?? I would think it wouldn’t need a new seal to prevent from loosing the fluid again.

Thank you very much for that information. I never knew you could just add that oil and it would fix the problem.
You welcome
Great video. Please use a rolled up newspaper to check fan. Your fingers are precious.
Now you tell me ☹️

Yup I hate that. What do you used to edit your video?
For multi-camera edit I use Sony Vegas Pro on Windows 10. For something simple, I use Filmora on either Windows or Mac.

Great job on this demo. I never knew that.
Excellent video man!
Thanks
You're better off getting an after market if it's around 20$(if rounded up) a bottle, online around $40 for a brand new clutch.
Thanks for the video, I didn’t know it was even an option. I’d rather rebuild my OEM fan clutch
You welcome
I have almost the same model. Mine is a 99
Excellent

Very good 😍
Does the fluid dry out over time, or does it leak out? Im not noticing any oil around the housing.
@madhatter6123 not sure
Is this the same process for a 4cyl motor ? Cant fknd any vids for a 4cyl

I never see this type of never spin. I only see electric fan not only. In your case yes just buy new one.
And the name .brand of oil store were u buy??
Victor Gomez TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. That’s why he gave out the part number
What size wrench do those bolts use
10mm

Do you recommend taking all the old oil out and put two new bottle of oil in?
No just add new to the old one
@@alltsab I think I have a lot of oil in the fan clutch already
And I bought 2 of the oil silicone
@@saephan34you can't tell but you can test like I did in this video to see how strong your fan is. If not strong you may add 1 bottle to it.
@@saephan34 ok 2 bottle that is what they recommend but you can put one first to see how good it's if still not enough you may add second bottle.
Why u not suggesting brand new fan clutch?
Auto part new fan clutch doesn't work like it should. I believe they didn't have enough silicone in the fan when you buy one to put in and it still over heat
I need to Know what did put in the clutch that liquid what is it call
Fan clutch silicone
Thanks any idea were to look for
