you mean on the front? yeah, it pushes air, it helped when I was going really slow. I was in a washout with rocks and stuff. it was a blast.

hooking back up the tube from the valve cover to the cold air intake tube needsto be put back so crankcase pressure can be released when at cruising speeds ( less oil leak issues)

i have the mechanical fan and upgraded to the newer style xj auxilary fan made a big difference just looking for extra if needed it get hot here when trailing at 5 or 10 mph also upgradeing to the open cooling radiator system will help alot in cooling issues

yeah, i'd love to do that. I need to find a donor xj from a junk yard though. most xj's in the yards out here are 90's. not anything new than 92. which i believe is when the HO came out.

oh, sorry, I'm such an idiot. If only i was more like you, all knowing "xjshake". I just thought that they started in 92, because I hear that sometimes, but I have heard of 91's as well. I thought it they were converted completely to the H.O. in 92. I don't know much about the H.O. I like my renix. =D I also hear that the RENIX can take more modification than the H.O.

I swapped my pressurized system out for a newer OPEN system a few days ago. It works so much better, and my heater works fa-nominal compared to how it used to. i haven't decided where to mount that over flow tank, i'm probably going to use a monster BFC can just for fun, and because I love those monsters h so very very much. =) also, I saw this brand new grand cherokee that i want SOOO bad. just as a daily driver, maybe a tow rig for the xj when it gets taken too far.
