Well we'll! Hope everyone is doing great and starting off the year on a good note! I fired up the rig (around weekly intervals now as I picked up a bucket car for DD stuff.) Looked down and not charging! Checked the hot post, no dice. Took it to VatoZone and they bench tested it, no dice as well. Went to my parts guy at the dealer.
Not to mention, in the process of removing it I found the idler to be worn down pretty bad (the face was already worn, but the bearing is noisy) so I added that to the list. Also found the upper rad hose collapsed. Looked into that and it was all soft on the backside towards the radiator, add that to the list as last time I did hoses, that was the only one not oem when I replaced them. Also have been noticing it's been a lil warm thanks to the scangauge (205°) so while I had the engine running it was up there and the fan didn't seem to be moving much air/spinning where it usually does. I made the sacrifice and sure enough I could stop the fan with my finger. I inquired about a blue clutch (old pn 16210-66010) and it's been discontinued in US and Japan. So we ordered the OEM one (66210-66020) and BAM! There was a blue clutch in the box, score! Don't plan to mod it but at least it's a bit better as is! Hopefully get to put all this junk on, and a new LR window run I picked up a few weeks ago later in the week. Oh yeah, I'm all signed up for Rubithon, anyone going??? Heading in Thursday morning at Loon, out Sunday Tahoma.
