Thanks for the feedback! We do have these fans running on a volunteer truck here in DE/PA and they have not had any problems with overheating in traffic, but that is with our radiator installed as well. We definitely recommend that the rest of the cooling system is kept up with including making...

Thank you for the help with the vendor subscription - I know this isn't everybody's day job, so I understand it can take some time. To answer your questions: We use this controller (https://www.mishimoto.com/adjustable-fan-controller-kit.html), but include both the NPT and the probe-style...

Hey everybody, My name is Steve and I work for Mishimoto Automotive. If you're not familiar with us, we make cooling products for a huge variety of vehicles, including a radiator, and now a fan shroud, for the XJ. We wanted to share our R&D behind our new fan shroud and hear what you all...

Hey MickeyS, That plug has an O-ring seal so it should be good with just being tightened down. It was likely just a little under-tightened from the factory; we typically recommend giving the fittings on our rads a check at install. If it isn't leaking now, you should be good, but just let me...

Thanks for the feedback, Cal. I'll definitely pass it on. It looks like we do specify M5x0.8 for the upper mounting hardware. I know we were able to reuse the stock hardware on our test vehicle, but I'm having trouble finding an official spec for those. Do you know what the OEM spec is? The...

I completely forgot to ask what the fit and finish issues you ran into were; thanks for letting me know! I'll pass this on to our team so that we can make sure everything is QC'd properly. What size hardware did you end up having to get? I'm wondering if maybe there was a change in hardware at...

Hey everybody, I just wanted to jump in and answer questions / respond to comments here. Sorry I didn't see your PM Cal, we usually transfer forum responsibilities to our customer service team after product release, so I didn't get the email notification, and they've been swamped lately with a...

Me too, sorry about that :doh:. We had a delay in shipping that made it hard to get visibility on product, so when they did arrive, we wanted to get them out to customers right away. If you're interested and were hoping to get the rad at pre-sale pricing, please PM me and I can probably help...

Hey everybody, Just wanted to let you all know that the pre-sale has ended for these and that those of you who ordered in the pre-sale should be getting shipping notification soon. Thanks to everybody who ordered! -Steve

No problem, I apologize again for the confusion. Thanks for the feedback! Glad it's working out for you! We hope so too; we've gotten some great feedback from the third-party reviewers that we sent early models out to, so we're excited for you all to get these. Thanks, I'll keep you all...

They were not in stock, I'm not sure why that would have happened but we're looking into it. It sounds like there may have been a glitch with our system that told Chris that the rads were in stock and that's why he reauthorized your card. That system does not show if an item is in pre-sale, so...

We're aiming for the end of this month, but I'll be sure to let you guys know when there's 24 hours left to order. Thanks! -Steve

Hey all, These rads are still on pre-sale - we did have a small delay in manufacturing so we're aiming to have these ship out by the end of the month. Jabinco - Did you pay with PayPal? If you did, we charge the card associated with the account right away, even for pre-sales. If you paid with...

The upper fitting is welded with a male 5/8-18 thread with a 45* taper at the end (designed to work with the stock trans cooler lines). It's probably possible to find an AN adapter or have one made, but it may be hard to find. The lower port is a simple 5/8-18 female for a compression fitting...

That's awesome to hear! We don't have any plans at this time to build this rad without the built-in trans cooler, however, I will pass your interest on to our development team. This rad will work with manual transmission XJ's and the built-in cooler shouldn't have a major effect on flow or...
