1062425 Final update: After all of the information provided by my fellow Jeepers I installed the Flex-a-Lite #150 Black Magic fan as bluebelle suggested. (1989 YJ 4.2) The extra airflow and heavier duty motor looked like the ticket. I also called Flex-a-Lite and picked up the nice aluminum...

1062477 For now, according to the factory gauge, it is set to start at 180 to 190 degrees. It comes on and the temp stays put, and at night, on the freeway, it never even gets that warm, and yes Blue, it is nice to keep the temp from rising when the motor is off.[addsig]

1062608 I wouldn't want to tell you yes without having factual knowledge, but I would suggest calling Flex-a-Lite tech department (800) 851-1510 Don. Hearing it from the source would seem to be a good Idea. Here is a lot more info on fans, including some temperature tests in one of these...

1063972 The U.S.A. decals have been appearing everywhere for sale, and at an increased price to boot.(up to $20.00 on e-bay) The company who actually prints them is on the Quadratec.com forum. "Pfunk"(Quadratec forum name) Steve Morris@ Performance Signs 87 Victory Lane Ruckersville, Va...

1064075 You may want to run them back to the dealer for their input. I have had 33" MTR's for several years and on several different Jeeps without any hint of problems. I have run them on most every type of road, rock, sand, snow, etc. (No mud yet) and I am impressed. It might be that set of...

1058881 A little input: I have "been there done that" on a lot of customizing in my years and understand that people have there own opinions as to what they want. (Right or wrong) I have never been the one to push my style on anyone. (Just share what I’ve found) I have though listened and...

1059447 Run some clean water over the areas you see coolant. You can do this with a hose or even a cup of water. Make sure the motor is off for safety (Sorry...some people do have to be told) Dry the water and then run the motor. You should see the coolant leak and track down the source. The...

1059454 It's possible there's a problem with the servers recognizing login names or passwords. Probably a hitch in the get along. I had to re-login and that solved the problem. POOP happens :-D [addsig]

1059555 Here's a response from someone that has the lift, tires, adjustable shocks and shackle reversal on a YJ. (For about 8 years) First of all the ride didn't change a bit with the S/R (shackle reversal) installed. It did however make a noticable difference while offroading at full flex. It...

1059656 I have a 1989 YJ 4.2 that has over the years been upgraded to crawl in the rocks on weekends and freeway drive Monday thru Friday by myself and other family members. My original thought was to install Dana 44's with Detroit's, ARB's or Ox lockers. Concerns about drivability, also the...

1059679 Update since original post: During a hot spell here in California, I noticed the temp gauge reading about 220, which is higher than usual. Always keeping my Jeep in good running order, I decided to go through my complete system and replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses...

1059680 Jeeper89 Getting a good operating motor to run cool really isn't a problem and too cool is not always the right thing to do. Remember the Jeep has a computer, which needs a (195? approx) degree thermostat to operate the systems properly. My thought is to run electric fan or fans for...

1059688 Bluebelle: Good reply. Obviously new vehicles are equipped with electric fans that are reliable and probably add to fuel efficiency too. But these are usually small, high reving motors in light cars. That are not used for Idle speeds in 120 degree temps for 8 hours at a time out in...

1059693 Bluebelle: Did you install the electric fan or did it come with your Jeep? Did you remove the stock fan,clutch and shroud? If so was there any noticable power difference or noise? Is the new electric fan hooked up to a thermostat for automatic on and off? Is your electric fan a puller...

1059695 By the way, my son is 5 years old going on 30. [addsig]

1059738 I don't know if I would make that change. Two years ago at HDR (High Desert Roundup) My partner showed up with his locked and loaded TJ. He arrived late and with the first run eariler that expected there was no time to remove his hard top. It was hot and we ran the whole day, (I admit)...

1059740 Bluebelle: This afternoon I talked to several Jeepers that have also made the electrical fan change. With their info and your glowing report, it's time to take the plunge. Parts are on the way. Thanks. Morgster [addsig]

1059843 Gspotracing: What type of Jeep are you running? I have read your post and I am always willing to listen and learn. What facts do you have to back up your strong statement? You seemed to be pretty convinced that anything except ARB, OX or Detroit is unacceptable. I ran the Power-Trax...

1059844 Dingus: On a YJ There are four nuts to remove the clutch and fan. Replacing the nuts holds the pully in place. There are four bolts that hold the fan shroud. That's it........... 5 minute job. This can all be done without removing the radiator or hoses. 8-) [addsig]

1059846 Tug: I purchased the Flex-a-Lite Wrangler2 (#475) Designed for the YJ with all parts included. From summitracing.com (800)230-3030 $199.00 plus $7.95 handling, no shipping, no tax Retail in Q-tec is $259.95 plus $23.99 S&H It's going on tomorrow. We shall see 8-) [addsig]
