We have had more probs up this way with 100 series turbos fans going into radiators while going thru even shallow water. Apparently the turbos have a thicker radiator. The fan blades are very flexible and the radiators fairly fragile.
Anyone know of a replacement fan, we are experimenting with a 60 series fan which is much more durable tho different off set. Another alternative I am looking at is crim safe mesh between the shroud and radiator. I now know of at least a dozen T\D cruisers up this way with this problem and Toyota themselves are well aware of it. I went into a radiator repairers today to ask about fans and he showed me 5 damaged radiators. Major worry for me as the OTL will be much wetter this year. Anyone have an answer for this problem??? And no I don't want to buy a Nissan I have had one before.
