    Cooling fan issues

    Hey guys, first post, not my first rodeo at all on forums. Before we begin, I HAVE searched low and high, on here, several other forums as well as Google and a few Facebook groups. Doesn't mean I didn't miss something, just wanted to point that out. So I purchased a TJ about 6 months ago (2.4L...

    Mechanical fan questions

    2001 TJ Sport 4.0 with A/C. Let me provide some background info: After running my Jeep with an electrical fan for the last 7 years, I will be installing a mechanical fan. Long story short, after doing some electrical diagnostics, it would be more trouble than it's worth to continue using the...

    Heater control upgrade

    Hello! Anyone with experience upgrading the heater/cooling system? My TJ is from ‘97, so I have the initial heater version. What is required to modify and install, if I would like to use the later control unit? Any thread here posted? TIA!

    Is it normal for HVAC lines to be completely white and frosted?

    Hola. I dont know much about the heating and cooling system. I just know I had AC in the summer and in the winter I have heating. I am in NJ where temps have fluctuated anywhere from 25F to 48F.

    Electric Fans

    So long story short i think the clutch on my fan is worn out. instead of replacing the clutch i was thinking of moving to an electric fan, thinking it may be better at low speed and also helps to reduce the parasitic drag of the fan. Has anyone switched to an electric fan? any noticeable...

    Cooling system overhaul shop rate?

    Hey, has anyone had the cooling system replaced by a shop? I'm going to ask for an estimate and wondering what kind of price to expect. I'm talking about replacing radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, and a complete coolant flush. Plus whatever else I might not know about that should be...

    The myth: low temp thermostats, electric fan conversions & "performance" radiators

    The myth There's a huge myth out there that's been making rounds on the Internet probably since the Internet first started. Go to almost any car forum out there, and you'll find a slew of members who like to push the idea that making your engine run cooler is a good thing. Often times they'll...

    Cooling problems

    This is my first post, so I don't really know if I posted it in the right catagory, but here it goes. My Jeep is a 99 Wrangler 4.0 5 speed. The previous owner has converted over to an electric fan. I've replaced the thermostat, upper and lower rad hoses, and even put in a new rad at the end of...

    A/C dead on possible purchase

    So Chris shot down my White Sahara dreams (really, thanks Chris...I don't need a money pit). Now I'm looking at a 2006 Golden Eagle with almost twice the miles (125K) but 4 fewer years and, hopefully, no rust issues. This one is a lot more local than the Sahara and I'm hoping to get a hands-on...

    Cooling System

    Losing my hair from scratching my head! Although Stinger does not have a jeep engine anymore the general principles remain the same. There is a smell of anti freeze when I turn the heater on. Although my A/C is not yet reconnected to the system when I switch to any of the A/C functions the...

    Vented Hood

    Does adding the vents to the hood really help with engine heat on TJ's? I think they look good, just not sure if it's really functional.
