AISIN OE Cooling Fan Pulley Bracket | 3.0L 3VZ-E (1988-95 4Runner / Pickup)

AISIN OE Cooling Fan Pulley Bracket

For 1988–1995 Toyota 4Runner and Pickup with the 3.0L 3VZ-E V6

Overview

The AISIN cooling fan pulley bracket restores the fan-drive support assembly on Toyota's 3.0L 3VZ-E V6, supporting the cooling-fan pulley and fan clutch through an integrated bearing assembly.

OE Manufacturer Advantage: AISIN was an original-equipment supplier to Toyota and the original manufacturer associated with this application. That gives owners an AISIN-branded replacement backed by the same OE engineering pedigree as the factory component while remaining distinct from a Genuine Toyota boxed part. Toyota revised the 3VZ-E timing-belt tensioner system during 1992, so the correct bracket is determined by production date and tensioner type.

Key Features

• Original-equipment manufacturer relationship for this Toyota 3VZ-E fan pulley bracket application
• Integrated bearing support for stable fan-pulley and fan-clutch operation
• Aluminum die-cast bracket construction
• Two production-specific configurations for the 1992 tensioner-system change
• New replacement assembly; one bracket required per vehicle

Spring vs. Hydraulic Tensioner

Toyota changed the 3VZ-E timing-belt tensioner arrangement during the 1992 model year. Vehicles built through August 1992 use the spring-tensioner bracket configuration, while vehicles built from September 1992 use the hydraulic-tensioner bracket configuration.

1992 owners: verify the vehicle build date and installed timing-belt tensioner style before ordering. On engine-swapped or engine-replaced vehicles, verify the installed 3VZ-E configuration rather than relying on chassis year alone.

Vehicle Fitment

All applications require: 3.0L 3VZ-E V6.

Toyota 4Runner

• 1988–1989 | 1st Gen — Spring-tensioner configuration
• 1990–August 1992 | 2nd Gen — Spring-tensioner configuration
• September 1992–1995 | 2nd Gen — Hydraulic-tensioner configuration

Toyota Pickup

• 1988 | 2nd Gen — Spring-tensioner configuration
• 1989–August 1992 | 3rd Gen — Spring-tensioner configuration
• September 1992–1995 | 3rd Gen — Hydraulic-tensioner configuration

Fitment Notes

• 1992 is a production-change year. Match the bracket to the vehicle build date and timing-belt tensioner style.
• Spring-tensioner applications run through August 1992; hydraulic-tensioner applications begin September 1992.
• Verify the installed tensioner configuration on engine-swapped or engine-replaced vehicles.
