I know the FJ uses a clutch fan, and was wondering if anybody has given thought to how to disable it for water crossings etc. I am guessing that it is not possible, or somebody on here would have done it.
From what I understand, the clutch has a bimetallic thermostat that kicks it on at a certain temperature. Is that thermostat accessible, and could it be fooled temporarily into thinking things are cooler than they really are?
Just wondering....

nope it just keeps on spinning as long as the belt turns. no reason to worry about water though, thats why its a clutch fan, you can stop it with water or your hand if ya dont mind a bit of pain, then it starts right on spinnin again.

X2, there's plenty of slippage when it's not fully engaged.
