So I called the local yota dealer for a fan bracket for the 3.4

He told me over 700 for the bracket and the pulley's and they all come together.

Is this not some BS or what.

What "fan bracket" are you referring to? Isn't the fan a single unit, that bolts to the water pump, with the wp/fan pulley sandwiched between the two?
 
I lost the books that hold my roof rack on and my local dealer wanted $9.73 each (there's 10). I said no thanks.
 
As you can see unfortunately the bracket comes with a new clutch which makes it so damn expensive. You can get the bracket elsewhere which makes it hard for us to sell them to customers.

My heater/AC/defrost selector switch was stuck, on my 2000 SR5.
- Toyota dealer wanted $1,300 + tax, for a new heater/fan plastic box

Sourced a mint part out of a MI auto wreckers, for $150, that came complete with the electric fan - the fan actuator doors & selector switch work perfect now.

I was able to buy just the bracket Aisin brand through the local parts store. I think it was around $130.

For fun I called my local dealer yesterday for their price on an o2 sensor for my '98.

Amazon has it for $46.44 with prime shipping. The dealer wanted $165. Thanks but no thanks.

I did that with my Brothers 4runner, he has a cali emissions one, even with my employee discount it was over 100 bucks. I went to Denso and crossed the factory part number to denso and got it for 55 bucks on prime shipping lol. Once you slap a toyota logo on any denso part you get an instant 40% markup lol

Seems to me it's a little more (like 3x more) than a 40% markup.

Apparently I cant translate my thoughts to words properly today lol dealer cost was around 80-90 bucks, my 10% markup plus tax was just over 100.

I didn't clear the air enough I meant was Toyota's cost is at like a 40% markup (sheesh even that number is wrong thats still almost 80% mark up to what I can buy it for.) Not retail lol my bad jrzee.

[MENTION=125025]GHARP57[/MENTION] speaketh truth, Toyota does not even show a p/n for JUST the fanbracket/bearing/flange, only the whole assembly out to the fan clutch.

MSRP $664 or Camelback $487.

Which is ridiculous....I replaced my fan clutch three years ago. If my bracket bearing goes, a dealer would make me buy another one.

I love you long time Sir.... I'll go this route then. Even at cost the Dorman one is more than this and I like OE much better.
