    Mishimoto R&D: XJ Performance Fan Shroud

    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...

    Mishimoto R&D: XJ Performance Fan Shroud

    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...

    Mishimoto R&D: XJ Performance Fan Shroud

    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...

    XJ radiators, a review.

    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...

    XJ radiators, a review.

    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...

    XJ radiators, a review.

    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...

    XJ radiators, a review.

    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...

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    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

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    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...

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    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

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    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...

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    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...

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    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...

    Hey everybody, Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all, I was out of the office all last week and just returned. I'll be returning all of your PM's today and talking to the project manager about you guys testing for us. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to get these out to...

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    Hi Ryan, Our radiator does have a built-in transmission cooler like the OEM radiator. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions! -Steve

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    Cal, to be honest, I don't disagree, which is why I usually work with customer service to offset that cost. We have a double-edged sword with the lifetime warranty. On one hand it provides our customers with confidence that the product will last and if they ever have a problem, they don't have...

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    Unfortunately, to keep product costs down for everybody, we do. My colleagues and I usually try to work within our means to offset or reduce that cost in one way or another; but that's not always possible. Hopefully you never have to use our warranty, but if you do, you can always reach out to...

    What happened to the Mishimoto radiator thread?

    Don't forget that, even after the pre-sale ends, our distributors can get you a pretty good discount off the MSRP, and it will still be covered under the lifetime warranty through us. -Steve
