TJ cooling woes

[jeepin4life]

well its about time that my OEM fan clutch w/ about 90k miles on it be replaced.

first of all i had an e-fan before and hated it, so i put the clutch fan back on, so e-fans are not an option.

second i run a 180 t-stat which keeps it a little cooler but this also means that an OEM fan clutch will not match.

i'm considering just running a flex fan but then i would need an adapter to go from the single large nut to the four bolt style of a flex fan. personally i haven't seen these yet.

the idea i like the best is try to find an electric clutch like a trail blazer or newer 6.0 ford diesel has. these operate like a normal viscous clutch but also can be electronically locked up, some even vary the amount of lockup via the amount of power that is applied to them.

so does anybody else know of any other rigs that may have an electric fan clutch? i'm hoping to find one that will just bolt in but i doubt that i'm gonna find that, i'll most likely have to fab something

not sure about lock-up e-fans but there are a couple companies making variable speed controllers for fans, more heat more fan speed.

spal I think is one or something like that, they want you to use their fans.
The other is on PPB, and can't remember what he goes by. His are suppose to take the Taurus fan but customer service might not be as good, think it's a one man operation.
