My water pump started leaking on me last night. I guess I'll be changing the waterpump, thermostat and fan. I have never seen anything like that and don't ever want to on my rig.

Just a thought,
do you think Toyota switched to the plastic part for "saftey reasons"
or because this plastic fans are cheaper to produce ?
Thinks the second is the reason ... just my two pence
Cheers

Bumping this up after a few years. Just had a buddy call looking for a plastic fan. Only he lost his radiator when his fan snapped
My metal fan on the 40 lodged itself in the hood a number of years ago. Changed to plastic, but just the other day realized I still have the 4 blade metal fan on the 55.
It will get changed soon.
