Carl,

Not sure where I saw this, but I wonder what the part number is? Also do you think Pep Boys has it, or would you try the Toyota dealer? Or Nissan?

Gentlemen: please read the tech link that Carl posted earlier. All will become clear. Panchovisa - the picture you posted is part of the tech discussion that Carl linked about 10 posts ago!

Thanks, Mark (I appreciate you saying it again) Maybe someone will listen and follow the link the 4th time it is suggested!!!

Sometimes I wonder why I go through the effort to prepare an article if no one bothers to read the darn thing even when it is repeated pointed out to them.

:tapemouth :tapemouth !!!!!:cross-eye :disappoin !!!!

For those of you worried about fan vs horsepower: You actually can get more power at high rpms if the fan clutch is defective and locks up. The fan then acts like an airplane propeller and helps with thrust. Victor.

No ones reacted to this, this is a joke right?? :ermm:

Rotating Propeller = Thrust = More Power!

Yes especially when the air is cold and at sea level . The air has more mass and the fan blades get a better bite. The blades are made of plastic so they can flex if the air get too dense.
