I have a 1995 cherokee automatic that wants to overheat. My Electric cooling fan died, I replaced it with a 1000 CFM fan. I'm looking at this now.

 

Clutch fan good ?

 

Explain. Is it overheating on the highway at speed, or is it overheating when you sit still in traffic? "Wants to overheat" is too vague for a vehicle that can overheat in a variety of ways.

 

In most all case's a stock cooling system will handle all the cooling very well if in good condition.

 

I have a 94 that I have been dealing with it getting hotter than I am OK with (up to about 230-240). I rebuilt the entire cooling system with a high flow water pump, thermostat and housing. All new hoses, a new temp sender and a heavy duty fan clutch. A three row all metal radiator, flushed the system, water wetter and STILL got hot in 110 plus AZ. I replace the CCV valve (the old one cracked) then had a massive vacuum leak and the overheating was worse. I figured that the new CCV valve(orifice) was the culprit i pinched the hose down to reduce the vacuum flow, temp went down, just not enough. I pulled the hood, temp went down again, this time to within op temp. I finally had time to make some 2" hood spacers and put the hood back on . The cowel induction affect really works on this thing! The temp stays about 195 (thermostat temp) with the AC running and hot as hell outside. I plan on building a custom cowel hood for it when I have the time. BTW I have plans of replacing the CCV with an OEM unit, hopefully that will fix the vacuum issue. I am also contemplating a Ford Contour dual electric fan set up, I like the idea of tons of cooling sitting still or crawling through a hot desert wash. I know there are pros and cons but im leaning toward the electric.

 

If using that fan get a shroud that works with it, or just use the stock fan and shroud, a good upgrade is the new "Clutch" for the manual fan, this one is meant for a ZJ but pushes more air - Found here at Autozone Don't forget to use the P20 code (or better ones online) to get 20% off the price and pickup in store.
