overheating. parts missing?
I just got my 99 sport a few weeks ago. It twice overflowed coolant but temp was ok. Then one day overheated. I replaced t stat and housing. Previous owner did radiator. It overheated again today. Lots of air in system but i got it out.
There is no shroud also only a fan on motor. I know i need a shroud but was there also a supplemental elec fan on this b4?

Mine uses it's second fan quite a bit. With one fan and no shroud I don't know if I would make it up my hill. Also my Jag/ 350 conversion overheated until I got the shroud right.

My road climbs 1,500 ft in 3 miles. Sometimes the washboard is brutal plus it's curvy. Lots of work and little air speed, plus sometimes it's hot. It WILL do it without the fan, but grumbles about it after I turn it off. 74 XJ6 White/Tan. It's up there with my other 5 Jeeps. D.

OP go to the junkyard and get a shroud and an e-fan from another cherokee. You absolutely need both these items.
