Cooling Fan

I just bought a 1988 Toyota 4x4 3.0L and it has an electric fan. I am assuming its suppose to have a clutch fan .

Rock auto likely has the blade and even the AISIN fan clutch possibly.

The shield may be another story.

I would TRY to go with salvage yard items for this. Maybe get a new OEM Toyota fan clutch.
The electric fans most people put into their cars and trucks are a step down from the factory set up and/or are wired poorly.

SOME manufacturers equipped their heavily optioned vehicles with fans that had more blades and or a stiffer fan clutch. This was usually the case with factory Hi-Performance muscle cars too. I don't know if it's the same with Toyota, somebody told me they are all the same but then I read that the A/C equipped trucks.. maybe 4Runners? also had a front mounted electric fan???
Since you're starting from scratch you might as well check, I sure would.

If the cooling demand is greater just add a non shrouded push fan in front triggered off a simple toggle switch.

The 3.0 engines for some reason Had Condenser fans.

I never had good luck with electric fans

I have to Agree with the All Father on this you should be able to find what you need used pretty easy.

That way you have it all from the same Vehicle .
