Default efans worth it

been thinking of putting in an electric fan setup. my jeep originally had a plow so there is some massive efan in already that doesnt work right. i took my clutch fan out and even with this thing blowing hard the needle still kept going to the red. i was told leave all my muscle car knowledge behind when i got the jeep. usually i pull the clutch fan to free up some hp but i cant see that doing much in this. my temp always hangs at 210. is it worth puting in a proper setup or not

210 is where it's supposed to be. jeeps love 210. if you love your jeep put the fan clutch back on! if the e fan fails and you dont have the fan clutch you will regret it.

When the clutch fan was off and the efan I hqve was on the needle kept climbing. Now its the clutch fan only and stays at 210

Wonder why someone would say leave all your muscle car knowledge behind when u get a Jeep?

Like most factory gauges, the XJ gauge is rigged to point to the middle most of the time.
