averona Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 My lexus/toyota specialist changed my fan clutch, and now the engine has a much more powerful sounding roar. Is that normal? He says it's air movement that wasn't happening before because the fan wasn't engaging. 95LS400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They likely put a tow package fan clutch on which never seems to stop engaging. When I compared the 2 they were different. One had much bulkier spring assembly. The tow one also impacts fuel economy.

What country are you in? There was never a "tow package" available for any LS here in the USA although there was in many other countries. I doubt if any sort of "tow package" fan clutch would be available here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I encountered the same thing in March of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
