Howdy everyone,
Don't normally post here but I think my fan clutch just took a crap in my 04 taco. Has the 2.7 4cyl 5 spd.
I was driving on my way to get a front end alignment (new tires) and heard a noise like a rock came out of the tire. At the next light when I sped up I heard something unusual, like a loud vaccuum leak at higher rpms.
I pulled off and popped the hood, reved the engine and the sound was coming from the fan. It was just louder than usual.
I drove to the dealer (under warrenty) and the mech said it sounded normal. After telling him something was definately different from any sound I have ever heard. He still said it was normal.
? is has anyone had a fan clutch crap out on them? If so what does is sound like? Mine sounded as if the fan was going faster than normal.
The tech at the dealer said it would be unmistakable if the clutch locked up.
Sorry for the long post. Any ideas?
Jon
