I'm planning on doing this in a couple of weeks. After intensive searching, I can't seem to find every exact detail that I need, so I'll adress multiple questions here.
Firstly, the plan.
CSF 3 row from Dirk
external tranny cooler
e-fan conversion
On the topic of the tranny cooler:
I was going to completely bypass internal radiator cooling. I don't do any towing, but might as well get a unit tough enough too just in case I ever need to. I realize that the plate style is better than tube and fin, and that I would also want some kind of bypass valve to allow normal warm up of the tranny. Does this completely rule out hayden units? I know B&M makes a unit for around $50 that is rated to 18K GVW. Anybody recommend a certain one? I will prolly eventually add a tranny temp sensor and gauge too, just not now.
Now the dreaded efan:
My fan clutch is shot any way. I know that practically everyone says this will blow up my jeep and end the world. But I did notice one other member on here is from Austin and has this mod with no complaints, and I am doing the heavy duty CSF along with the tranny cooler. I was thinking about Bender's dual maxima fans. I wanted to know how you and others set up the wiring and just to establish that there would definitely be enough room. Otherwise, I might go with a 12" zirgo, they're rated for around 1600 CFM.
Other searches have also turned up that I should use a factory t-stat because of some weep hole? I guess I should also purchase a new 16lb cap in case the spring in my old one is damaged?
TIA
