omega_rugal Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 now that i got a nice open cooling radiator ready to swap in, the next step would be to move the mechanical fan to the center, to the water pump, as for that swap, what parts do i need to get? the whole water pump? or just the fanclutch? because the offset fan is attached to the pulley with NUTS and the waterpump has BOLTS on it... the way i see it is to replace the bolts with studs and get a new fanclutch from a 4.0 wrangler, those have the fan on the center right?

Crash Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Unless you mount the rad more forward than factory, there is no room to install the fan on the WP like most other vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Why? And how did you actually do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omega_rugal Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Why? And how did you actually do it? several reasons the actual rad is in pretty bad shape and it`s closed cooling, the base was bent maybe from colission so i took the chance to pick a better, open cooling radiator, fix the mounts and mod it to receive the new rad... as for the offset fan... i don`t know, i can`t stand it, besides the new rad is more square than rectangular... and my efan broke some tiem ago...

mikekaz1 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 if you have a square radiator instead of a rectangle one.... its not the right one. not sure about YJs but TJs used a single threaded nut for their water pump/fans, not the 4 bolt flange like the MJ uses.

omega_rugal Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 if you have a square radiator instead of a rectangle one.... its not the right one. i know, the mount was modded so it fit not sure about YJs but TJs used a single threaded nut for their water pump/fans, not the 4 bolt flange like the MJ uses. i have seen vids of YJs, they do use the flange no work on the MJ this week... last time i couldn`t upload any pics, o`ll try again later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
