Need series 78 cooling advice :)

[bluesphere]

Okay guys, ive had my new to me 2002 series 78 troop carrier and I have a cooling issue. The good news is I know what it is. I have the 1HZ engine, but unfortunately the fan that connects to the fly wheel and shroud is missing. There is a cheap chinese electric fan bolted onto the radiator and its just not enough cooling at highway speeds. Under 50 mph running the AC im good, but on the highway I have to turn on the heat, and where I am (Panama) thats not alot of fun. My question is should I scrounge and look for the parts, or upgrade to a 4 row aluminum radiator with a dual electric fan set-up?

Personally, if your able to get the correct Toyota parts, it will be the most simple and reliable option for you

Finding the parts is the issue. From what im reading the 4 row dual fan cooling system might be an upgrade, just dont know

 

[felix2566]

Is it hard/expensive to get the parts shipped/imported?

I dont really know where to find the parts. Shipping is not an issue, quite simple actually. Just have to find where to get them.

Might be worth investigating which Toyota's shared the same clutch fan maybe ?

A quick search showed China is selling copies ten a penny and personally i'm thinking its one of those parts so unlikely to fail that if it works its likely to last .

Motors Head Japan are also a very good supplier for genuine OEM parts, have used them a few times and found they are cheaper than Amayama

Is there a website or PDF with an exploded view of my truck with OEM part numbers?

So i installed the clutchfan yesterday, and even without a shroud it cools better than the dinky electric fan. Im going to build a shroud out of aluminum over the weekend such an awesomely simple truck!!!!

Cool looking truck

 

[felix2566]

That's brilliant, glad it already making it all work better!

I put on the stock fan clutch and tossed the electric one. I dont have the cowling for it so the fanclutch is exposed but seems to be running fine with the AC now at highway speeds. I do want to upgrade to a 4 row aluminum radiator though.

Get the shroud it makes a world of difference keeping the engine happy.and cool - I also want to upgrade to an aluminum radiator and an intercooler .

The fan is redundant at speed thats why it has its own clutch , it goes into free spin .

Off road or around town there is little airflow to cool the radiator and so the fan engages .

From someone who's run them in the North West of Australia : Not necessary, even in 45 degrees C+ . Just get the fan shroud sorted
