Ok so on my 89 cherokee I wanna add an electric cooling fan and ditch the machanical one. I also want to take out the ac compressor and add a dummy wheel. I know the other fan that comes in the jeep comes on when the ac is on, I wanna get another factor electric fan just like the one that comes with the jeep and wire them together to the fan controller I'm gonna buy so they turn on together. Will two of the factory fans running together work enough to cool the car? Or will I have to get a after market fan. I just figured there was spots or another factor looking electric fan why not try.

 

I can't say I have much advice on replacing the mechanical fan but for the AC compressor you'd want an AC compressor bypass. I just did this on my 95 XJ with a 4.0L.

Pepboys was the only place I could find the bypass pulley for a reasonable price although they charged me double of what it's listed for on the site since I ordered mine in store (still cheaper than they were other places). I complained but they said it was listed wrong on the site.

Anyway, the bypass I linked above says it only works on a 96 but it worked fine on my 95. I do know that 94-96 used the same AC setup (maybe even 91-96) so I'm not sure if this will work on your 89 but if you can't come up with any other options this might be worth a try. Pepboys said I could return it if it didn't work. If you order it in store be sure to pull the SKU (287719) as they couldn't find it in their computer by name.

 

i know about that my question is once i get rid of the ac all together i wanna us the ac electric fan and but another ac electric fan to take the place of the machanical one and run two electrics fans. so my question was can i do that and will it be enough to cool everything down.

 

No, they do not move enough air for that. An all-electric setup would be with the ultra high-flow Ford Taurus fans and three-fan kits like Dirtbound Offroad. You'll find mention of both approaches on here with a search for those names.

 

not enough air even if i have both fans running together at the same time? im taking the ac out compleatly

 

Yes. The stock electric fan is remarkably gutless.

 

Grand Cherokee fan clutch and newer style xj aux fan upgrades pull all the air you gonna need.

 

so i can get electric fans from a 96 and up and they will fit in my 89 no prob and be enough to do what i want them to do? they slids into the factory spots

 

I think its 97 and up replace your factory aux fan just cut the plug off old fan and connect to newer xj style fan wiring. Don't cut truck harness. Then how you make it runs your option.Replace old style exactly.

 

but can i run two fans no prob and they will be enough for cooling and they will slide into the factor spots? no trimming to fit in factory locations of my 88?
