I haven't had issues with any fans in 30 years of Toyotas. I am sure the climate has alot to do with that western PA dosent get super hot. The OEM fans always worked great for me. Other areas of the world maybe a different story. I suspect issues in hotter climates especially if the fan clutch fails.

The jiggle valve (small little metal tab in a hole) is at 12 o'clock in that photo. Turn it 180 degrees so it's at the bottom.

Installed the new thermostat from Toyota with it at the bottom. New coolant from Toyota and a new lower radiator hose.

That old one didn't look like a OEM one and the jiggle valve was in the wrong spot. Crazy how big of difference the direction of the jiggle valve can make.

The fan blades on those electric systems are so thin. I shattered one going through some mildly deep water and it slashed open my radiator. Wouldn’t haven’t happened with the stock fan.
This actually happened to my buddy with the stock fan on our last wheeling trip and I had to drive 45 minutes to get him a new radiator at the closest parts store.. luckily they had one radiator in stock.

A few people put e-fans in just because of this issue. An e-fan you can cut power to if a switch is wired in. You can't turn off the mechanical fan.

Yea that’s definitely a nice feature for the electric fans. I always wondered about this fan Flex Fan - 5VZ Flex Fan w/Billet Spacer Kit

I think the bad thing about this fan is it gets rid of the fan clutch..

It’s 106 outside and I’m on the freeway at 77mph. Rig is at 207 with the A/C off. Hmmm

Excellent point. Just make sure you turn it back on as soon as you're out of the water.

EngineMasters dyno tested a metal fan with no clutch, a metal fan with a clutch, and the flex fan you linked above. The metal fan with a clutch had the least amount of power loss when compared to no fan at all. The flex fan was also very flimsy and they made a point to show that on the episode.

LCE sells a lot of quality parts but they do have some gimmicks listed for sale. The flex fans as well as the throttle spacers for the EFI motors like ours are some of them.

If you have any updates or insights on how you resolved the temperature problem with your vehicle, it could be valuable for others facing a similar issue.

By the way, if you're ever in need of ceiling fans for your home, you can explore options to buy ceiling fans in bulk. They offer a variety of fans that can enhance ventilation and comfort in your living space.
yeah because a ceiling fan will work with a radiator. good job scammer!
