Do some research before modding the XJ cooling system. The OE stock efan blows something like 2300 CFM and with a good fan clutch, the mechanical will blow way more CFM than the stock efan at just above idle speed. U don't want reduce air flow thru the rad.......not this time of year.

 

i wanted to do that too but i figured id just put three efans along with the fan shroud. keeps my xj well under 210 in traffic or off it real happy with it.

Ford FWD 3.8l fan is where its at.

 

You could of build the same set up from dirtbound for way cheeper then what they sell their kit for I did mine for under 150$ with everything I just bought dirtbounds fan shroud got my fans off ebay and the fan controller from summit racing and its been working great

 

Do those ebay fans perform as well as the DirtBound fans??????

They come from the same vender dirtbound just buys them in bulk

 

If they r the same (in performance), then u've done your research.

 

They move air well, but can be a challenge to fit well.

 

My Jeep heats up at idle in traffic abnormally quick but when i flip the switch for the stock e fan to come on i never have an issue, even on trails.

 

I dont buy Anything without doing research first

 

I hope the OP does his research as thoroughly as u and understands that even though the DirtBound fans tested well, they still didn't quite stack up to OE performance. They do seem to work well for lots of folks though.

 

Well its been working great for me for the past 4 months with no problems at all even in stop and go traffic in Chicago
