Does anyone know how many CFM the stock electric fans pull?
I'm not looking for speculation, I'm looking for numbers, and where you found them. I've googled it, and looked around on the forum, but can't seem to find ACTUAL numbers anywhere.

Why do you ask? Are you looking to use it in some other application other than a factory XJ cooling setup?

Nope, was headed to junk yard tomorrow, and would like to do just a plug and play XJ aux fan, but if there is a real big difference between it and another, I would consider wiring up a different one.
I know the one from a Taurus is like crack for everyone, but with 100+ amps draw at startup, it's more of a hassle than I'd like to deal with at this time.

Found this on the other big XJ forum:

Stock 99 E Fan

Engine On

Amperage:
Over 10A as it blew my meter.

Average: 2304.08 CFM

Awesome. I have an 89, and I heard that the newer ones pull more, so maybe I'll just find one from a newer one and see if the plugs are the same, or at least the wires are.

I beleve the newer ones have 10 blades and yes they pull more air
