Update



The bottle went down though

 

.....and eventually the coolant level in the bottle will become low enough (if not replaced) that the system will begin to draw in air, not coolant..........not good.

 

I know this but since I'm at work theres nothing I can do for the next 2 hours

 

Just posting as a reminder......some folks don't know that when coolant leaks out, it is replaced with air in the system and one can only guess at what u know/understand about how a coolant recovery system should correctly function.

We've seen pics similar to yours (the leak) post here before with the question "what could this be?".............and find out the OP of the leak thread hasn't even raised the hood to look for themselves.

 

Lol yeah I'm not that special but I will admit I am slightly special lol

 

Well the leak was that damn upper hose clamp, I hate that one its in such a retarded spot



Yes I know theres no shroud, I'm tossing the clutch fan for dual electric fans soon

 

Do your homework on aftermarket efans. The OE efan moves 2300 cfm and the belt driven fan with a good clutch will move way more cfm than the OE efan at just off idle.

 

About homework, anyone know about this fan?

Not anywhere close to being worth the money and it most likely wouldn't fit an Xj. That fan is WAY too tall for an Xj radiator.

 

After I finally found a site with real info on it I found out exactly that.

 

Why not just use two factory xj fans 97 and up ?

 

I actually just thought of that, I'll see what I got at work for those, that would probably be the best airflow wouldn't it?

 

Actually best would be grand cherokee fan clutch mod and 97 aux fan . but if your set on two electris they bolt right up a little wiring and your done .

 

I doubt two stock efans would pull enough air to be honest. The stock efans don't pull much air

 

I'm also looking to lose some of the drag on the motor from the clutch fan, but since I cant find any real high flow electric fans I might just run the grand clutch. But on topic it looks like the leak is gone and my reservoir is back to a normal level due in part to the leak but hey it worked and the extra coolant in there kept it from getting low.
