hey guys i was wondering if any of you guys that have a 3-row had to remove one of the a/c fans because there was not enough room?
Boostin, I wouldn't ignore this advice. A cheap tranny cooler is well worth the investment. you don't want your tranny crapping out because you removed a little fan and didn't do anything to offset the difference in cooling.PIMP Motorsports said:Is your car an automatic? Is so, there is an extra fan toyota puts in front of the radiator. It will need to be removed in order to get the 3 row in. You should invest in a tranny cooler.
Yea, forgot to mention that in my other post. I put a Hayden tranny cooler in the pass. front brake duct and will be putting another one in the driver's duct also in the near future. I have also thought about putting one between the intercooler and radiator for even more help. I am planning on putting in a higher stall with built tranny, can't be too careful about the excess heat from the high stall.VeilsideTT said:Boostin, I wouldn't ignore this advice.

yup, gotta remove the fan for the 3row to fit. I agree in the investment of a tranny cooler :bigthumb:PIMP Motorsports said:Is your car an automatic?

Take it to a qualified AC technician for a charge. Its not something you should be messing around with if you've never done it before imo. What kind of weird noises is it making? Make sure all the clamps are tight and that there are no leaks.Johnny Kim said:i put in my 3row last night and during the process got a face full of freon.
my friend helping out almost seriously hurt himself.
now my car works but its making weird noises.
i think i need to fill up the ac lines again but i don't know where to fill it up.
also, i dont know if i damaged the ac system..
damn it!!!
can someone please help me out.
any advice would be great.
plase pm me.
thanks
Oh, thats not a big deal. I had the same problem. Just fill your power steering fluid and let teh fluid circulate. It'll be a few minutes before the whining stops but it will stop once all the air is out of there and thte fluid circulates through. The AC part should be taken to a mechanic that can charge your AC, its not common for DIY'ers to have that equipment.Johnny Kim said:i know i was stupid for trying to install something that was too hard for me.
im having it towed tonight.
hopefully everything is fine.
i think the noises are coming from not having enough power steering fluid.
thanks for your reply. i will tell you guys how it goes.
i hope everything is cool.
