Huh... Yeah, I feel like the money I saved doing it myself was well worth the time it took.
Anyone have any experience with the redline version of this?
Nothing else. Just preying on the uninformed.
It's a service for those who don't/can't wrench and fo their own.
I mean, yeah... nothing is free, but to my mind the installation is the hardest part of the job - and that's pretty simple too.
so you feel the qikazz fan and clutch is more efficient than a modded fan clutch?
No, see his website for orange hub models to suit the diesels
My HDJ81 has the “orange” fan hub. Might need to put more oil in it, not getting the fan roar on startup and fan can be turned by hand with engine stopped.
What mod did you do to the fan clutch, trying to figure out the best setup for my 95. Thanks
I am trying to figure out this on my 95, did you follow the land tank adjustment procedure? Following this is the fan fully on anytime the air temp to the spring is over 95 degrees? Or does more of a variable thing where it come on stronger as the air gets hotter? I have a 95 as well and have put off fixing the temp issue for too long. Thanks
My stock Asian light blue fan clutch doesn't roar either. I think the roar happens more with gas engines that have the high cold idle right away.
Almost? Do you have to be 21 to vote in Arizona? How about wait 'til 2027 and buy it a shot.July 22 of next year, we should throw a 20th birthday party for this thread.It'll be almost old enough to vote.
Thanks for the info, my 95 has an issue with the idle speed creeping up starting when the coolant temp is around 200-205. I am not wanting the fan on all the time. Since I kept my old fan clutch I have 2 fan clutches I can play around with it. Also adding a 4 row aluminum radiator so maybe I just need the 10 k fluid.Almost?

@fj80T I played around with 10k and 15k oil, and I felt 15k was too abrupt - the 10k is still variable. I'm actually thinking about backing mine off around 5 degrees because I have been completely unable to push my temps over about 198 in the absolute worst conditions I could muster (high ambient temps, steep hills, low speeds and high elevation, all at once), and that leads me to believe I'm just wasting fuel the rest of the time, spinning a fan too fast. I can FEEL the drag on the engine when it's fully engaged and I don't mind if I'm in a situation where it's needed, but the numbers just don't seem to support that. I had a thread with a poll on here last year trying to get a feel for a consensus on what "dangerous" temps were. I think the most plausible data point I found was that the AC shuts off at 226, which strikes me as Toyota telling you it's time to cool things off. Using that logic, I feel like I've got plenty of room to play with adjustment.
The other main reason to use a more aggressive setting is cooling the AC, especially when parked, or at low speed. The electric AUX fan should make that a non-concern.
Sorry, I can't seem to locate my notes on what temp setting I used when I adjusted mine, but I THINK I went with something like 105. I used a sous-vide bath and let the fan sit for a while to get a nice stable temp, propping it up so the bottom half of the fan body was still immersed in hot water as I adjusted it. It made the adjustment really simple.
Edit: obviously, the turbo guys have a different set of circumstances, and I'm not making any assumptions on their needs.
10k by itself is a huge difference as long as your setting isn't WAY off. I will also say, that the "setting" we're using doesn't really translate to ambient temps. The fan clutch is sitting there in between your hot engine and your hot radiator, so our setting is just an arbitrary set point, but it would be useful to know where it's set, especially since you have two and are potentially switching back and forth.
