Looking at removing the original viscous fan and fitting another electric fan

Now do fit twin thermostic switch or wire it in tandem with the other fan using the original switch

[scrw]

on what?

Personally I'd get an adjustable fan switch kit off the bay rather than wire in with the other one, much better control and less chance of the temp yo-yo'ing

[Dave69]

replacement fan on a thermostat and the other smaller fan runs from the A/C temp sensor.

the problem with replacing the viscous coupling is that it wont be running full time at a low speed so ideally you might want to look at a twin speed fan but look on gojeep or the US sites to get idea on where to get a fan that will shift the correct amount of air

[johnboybop]

i run three 9" fans, one is controlled by the ecu, standard, the other two
by a switch so i can turn them off before going through water,or have all three
on for slow speed offroading and winching,

Have you removed the viscous fan then

Looked at go jeep and he just runs the fans in tandem from that stat with an overide for offroading

I'm interested in what you do and how it goes. I have a spare facelift XJ electric fan and was thinking of replacing the v.fan with it. It will move enough air when on but neither will run until 105 if wired into the stock electric fan controller

[captain cavalier]

I know about not coming in to 105 which I thought was a bit high but thats what go jeep does

will try it out and add another stat in the line if there is an issue

but with put in overide just in case

got a 17" fan off a vauxhall which should fit in place if viscous

doint know which car as just went to local scrappy and told him max dimensions

I might have a little re-visit of Go-Jeep's website now!
