89 MJ Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Maybe I'm getting confused with Eagle stuff, but I seem to recall there being a later model mechanical fan that flows more air than the stock 4.0 Renix one. Maybe it was 97+ with a 4.0? And isn't there a later model Jeep e-fan that flows more than the Renix e fan? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The later model model XJ fan was redesigned, you can tell by the fan blades. I want to say they started this in 97 XJs, but maybe earlier? The pigtails are different compared to the Renix fan, but nothing a soldering iron can't fix.

ghetdjc320 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 There is also a higher flow mech fan. I just so happen to have one if you are looking for one. Can’t remember the blade count but I have it sitting out in my shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Upgrade mechanical fan clutch is NAPA 272310. They tend to be louder than stock and sometimes fit rather close to the radiator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran the mishimoto radiator with that clutch and it cleared just fine. That was on stock Mopar engine mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
