What are the benefits of removing the clutch fan and going with a dual electric fan setup?

 

Lower parasitic loss
Can turn them off to ford water
Can turn them off to work on stuff with engine running and not get your arm chopped off
Experience working with wiring and temp controllers
Forum cred
Increase your post count when you have overheating issues due to not running high enough CFM fans
Stealth mode?

 

Less engine draw but more electrical to mess with.

 

Ok, there's this tube that comes from the top of my front diff and goes up to my fire wall... But it's capped off for some reason, any ideas why that would be? Or what it is actually for?

 

thats the axle vent the cap should have a little opening to let air in and out but restrict any water.

 

Vent for your front diff. Transmission, transfer case, and rear axle have one too.

 

The cap is a plastic screw-ish thing with a flat head. I could take a picture tomorrow if you guys want me to

 

Stop giving the forum secrets out

 

Why? It's the axle vent line lol

Oh but that's just a sample... the first hit's free!

salad don't bull**** anyone.

 

I mostly agree with you, but you won't lose your arm in the clutch fan at idle. I know because my ******* reached right into it on the YJ, and I only experience numbness in my fingers for about 30 minutes.

 

lol i figured that out pretty darn quick!

 

True story.

 

Assembling my new engine a bit tonight. Do y'all put rtv on your gaskets for the water pump and thermostat? Or other gaskets? I always have for the water pump and thermostat to get the gasket to stay in place but I saw where cruiser said he only puts it on the oil pan gasket. What do y'all think I should use rtv on? Brand new rebuilt engine with new accessories
