    I'm about to do the timing belt on my 2003. I've ordered the kit from AirCabinMan. But while I'm in there I'm going to fix what I think is bad bearings in the fan.

    Specifically, what I'm trying to fix is the screaming noise I get when I start the truck in the cold. It goes away when the truck warms up, and it doesn't happen in the summer at all. The attached picture is what I think I need, but I can't find it by itself. Anyone got any leads or a part number?

    Is that called the fluid coupler?

    That would be the fan bracket. For 5VZ-FE here is one purchase option with part numbers.

    I don't know why the yota dealerparts shops have to get the whole assembly for that one part!
    You can get the fluid coupler part by itself plus the pulleys by themselves without having to get the bracket
    But you cannot get the bracket without also getting all those other pieces included
    What what what
