purchased my Cherokee last April with 216k. I have the 4.0 HO, and so far on it i have replaced:
front wiper linkage
front wiper motor
rear wiper motor
rear wiper arm
header panel and various trim accesories for header panel
radiator
too many other things to list
on to my questions. Recently I smashed into a deer, hence the most of the front end being replaced. I replaced everything except for the a/c condensor and the clutch fan shroud. My aux fan does not come on with the A/C or when it hits 210 degrees. I replaced the sending unit, and the relay. Is it possible I need to replace the temp sensor that is located in the thermostat housing or is it the fact that i have no a/c condensor??? right now its wired to an underhood toggle switch(not enough wire at the time). even with the fan on though i still see temps hitting 230 degrees and from reading on various XJ forums thats way too hot. I also need to replace my clutch fan its kinda warped frm the deer incident. not enough to hit anything as it rotates but noticable enough. besides the local dealer or a possible bad one at a junkyard, is there anywhere to get one of those? and if i go the dealer route, is there a clutch already on it, or do i have to buy one? Also, will running without the fan shroud cause any problems? I know the upper radiator hose is right there next to it, but my town is infamous for its washboard roads, and I havent sliced the hose yet.
I would like to mount fog/driving lights on my XJ, but I have no mounts suitable. I've noticed on the front bumper, there appear to be two plugs spaced about the usual distance apart for lights. How do I remove said plugs, and will I have to modify the grille to make the lights fit? I'm not buying massive Hella lights just yet, just some Wallyworld cheapies. If I would have to cut the grille, I'll just save up for a decent brush guard.
Sorry to appear long winded. i'm sure i'll have more questions in the future. if its any help in giving out part #s, next town over there is a:
