Spin the cooling fan only when your engine actually needs it with the US Motor Works Thermal Engine Cooling Fan Clutch (P/N 22074). It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser (L6-4.5L) and the 1996-1997 Lexus LX450 (L6-4.5L).
The fan clutch sits between the water pump and the cooling fan, engaging the fan to pull air through the radiator when underhood temperatures climb and letting it freewheel when the engine is cool, which helps reduce parasitic drag and fan noise.
Signs the clutch may need replacing include engine overheating during low-speed driving, a constant loud fan roar that never quiets down, fan blades that spin freely with no resistance when the engine is cold, or fluid weeping from the clutch. If a failed fan clutch is the cause of these symptoms, this unit replaces it; diagnose the underlying cause before replacing.
