After seaching though the forums for a while it seems like it's quite par for the course to see an XJ running a bit hot.
My temp gauge had been holding @ 210 thoughout the winter. Now that it's warming up though it's been creeping up higher when sitting still. I just bought a new Radiator since I have no idea how old the existing one was as I just bought my 95' XJ this winter. I purchased a fan from Autozone. It was one of the Flex fans. Not sure what the deal with that thing is, but even though I have the correct part # it's way too big. I can't close the hood! :-0
Since the thing sounds like a jet engine, and I can't close the hood I decided it might not be the best option. Searching the forum and reading of broken fins re-inforced that idea.
Anyway, the point of this post is that I have decided to just go the Electric route.
I read about the guy with the dual 12" (1600cfm x 2 ) Zirgo fans. And looks like several people have used the 16" 3300cfm as well.
I'm thinking about going with the 14" 2600cfm model. And then if it's not doing the job adding an auxilliary 9" 1500cfm. (My XJ doesn't have a stock aux fan).
Anyone else tried the 14" Zirgo fan? If so, how did it work out for you?
If no one has used it, do you think I should even bother trying the 14" alone, or should I get an auxilliary right away?
Thanks.
