I just did this on my own. I'm running the stock Aux fan as is and a second OEM Aux fan on a Derale adjustable thermostatic control that's also tied into the A/C clutch so both fans run when the A/C is on. I've been driving mine back and forth to work all week and it's never gotten above 210 so far. It's only been in the 40's here though so the real test will be this summer.
so whats stopping me from buying this fan, and wiring it and my second smaller fan (the stock ac fan) all to run off the temp sensor in the therm housing on my 4.0.
Does anyone know exactly how to wire it so it works?

I am thinking of trying this on my ZJ.
Looks pretty straight forward. i was thinking of grabbing a switch from advance auto parts. It has a setting for temp right on it too.
Thanks for posting this up.

all you gotta do is butt connect the newer fan plug from the old that way you still have the factory wiring harness plug i swear they pull like double the air from the olod just make sure you wire it in the right direction...
