Has anyone purchased the Electric fan override set up from XJ Armor? It is only 36 bucks and looks like it will save me the work from making one for my 96 sport.
I was thinking about doing this, but because I just have the idiot light, I wouldnt know if it was overheating untill it was to late. So I got the kit instead and it has worked great.Gil BullyKatz said:There's a lot of guys here (including myself) that have done it themselves...
Skip the kit, save your money...
Mine is spliced to a switch in the cab without any type or temp regulation. I look at the gauge and if starts to creep close to 200* I flip it on...
I don't know if this is what you're looking to do but I like having control over when it's on or off.
You can do it for less than $15, about half that if you skip the relay

I got mine from Steve as well, and I got it in less then a week. I emailed him with questions and he got back to me in less then a day or less. One time it was 15 min. Dont know what is going on, cause I had great CS. Just my input.

and yes the engines were designed to run at about 210*
I had an overheating prob a few years back and swapped radiator, t-stat,water pump and hardwired the fan switch "just in case"...
I haven't had any probs since...
If I'm in stop-n-go traffic I like to flip the fan on before it gets up there..
