    Hey guys. the reason I'm asking this question is because Toyota said my clutch fan was out and I had been reading that with it being out your truck can run hot. I have a bully dog performance monitor and it says my truck runs at about 204 to 208 on warm days. I was wondering if this was a normal temp. My second question is how much does it cost to get my fan clutch replaced? Also at idle I can see a tinny bit of wobble but what shaking the fan it feels solid.

    Hitch and wiring, aux back-up light, rear strobe lights, radio and underseat sub.
    Tie dental floss to a fan blade to keep it from turning(with the engine warmed up and off). If the floss breaks, it's fine. Make sure the engine is at operating temp!
    The clutch locks when cold, until the silicone inside warms up. Then, it will lock and unlock at it's rated temperature.
