I remember the video you posted on installing the aluminum radiator with the electric fan. I purchased the same one , and didn't install the electric fan that came with the kit bc exactly this issue. I knew it needed an adapter and a thermostat that screws into that adapter, but I never knew exactly what is the correct size so I opted out THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE HEADACHE SAVER!!! and a Link to Purchase , If only I had this before I went through 2 aluminum radiators and went back to the OEM radiator

[@mrfixit____3651]

I use a digital potentiometer under my dash on my xj. I drilled and tapped the "extra" plug that is on the exit side of most aluminum radiators for the sensor. I had a temp switch like the one you installed that failed on my last vehicle. Fortunately you can just pull the plug of the switch and ground it and it turns the fan on.👍

[@theronsmith8244]

Great 😃👍

[@Bomhilsnotcountries]

Muddy Beard!! Good Content and very useful as i did the same on my old 87 X. Now on my 98 ZJ I really need to ditch the metal clutch fan swap electric and add this T-stat. Would be nice to see comparison temps before & after as temps cool lower in the rad as coolant boils up cavitation

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job Kelly,hope it works good for you...

[@Billy28376]

Great idea I’ll be ordering a similar setup.

[@zacsomers4646]

Did you interfere with the negative or positive lines? And if you did the negative lines, is it possible to interrupt the positive feed (fuse line) rather than the negative line in order to get a switch with a light to work?

[@williamokeefe3439]

Do you think I could you use the existing positive/"hot" wire going to the cooling fan & tie into it directly from the load side of the relay that comes with a kit like this so that my fans still operate when my a/c is on? My cooling fans no longer come on at or above operating temperature, but they do still work with the a/c on; so I am looking to use a kit just like this one, but I need to tap into my a/c circuit somehow still.

[@SaddamHussaintech4u]

i connect this ground wire of the fan directly to the thermostat switch. works great but... when the fan turns on then do not stops. is this the problem of thermostate switch or bypassing relay ?

[@squarebodychevyoverhauls6982]

I have the same style thermostat as yours ( Hayden ) and 2 have already failed after a couple months . Lucky I was watching the temp gauge and hot wired the fans in time to get out of the bush .....Junk ! Went with a Flex-o-lite adjustable thermostat . In the process of installing it . I wish the pipe joins had a 1/4" NPT to work with the sensor provided . Now I have to get an adaptor or drill it out and re-tap for 1/4 NPT .

[@irishlad7458]

Does it not depend on what your thermostat shuts at if you cool the water too much in the rad will it close your stat or are you top thermostat mine is at the bottom of my ranger tdci my viscous fan is like a spitfire and is cooling the rad off too quickly and the stat barely opens

Does it really matter on the black and brown wire 85 and 86 which goes to the sensor and the other to ignition power? I saw a vid that says it dont matter because it's DC and only needing to complete the circuit like a magnet and it don't matter which goes where on that.

[@ilhanalpo]

Hi muddy, I have a question if you don't mind. I just installed this setup and the fan starts at the perfect temperature but doesn't turn off at the right temperature. I bought 200f to 185f sensor, and my fan turns on at 200f but stops working at 199f. So the off-temp doesn't work. I didn't install the circuit breaker, could that be the reason? I am confused.

[@scottdoubleyou563]

I have one question and one recommendation. Question. Did you plug into the air conditioning power to ground the relay so your fan comes on with your a/c? Recommendation. Switch the 20 amp fuse for a 30. You want to match the fuse with the amp draw of the fan, or at least get as close to it as possible.

8:20 but there are also 2 pin coolant switches available. This mean 12V and ground. Am I right?

[@franciscoguzman881]

What’s the size of that adapter

[@flysurfmx1766]

You want the fan thermo switch on the radiator outlet side. If your going down the highway and the water coming out of the engine is 210 but the water going into the engine is 150 there is no need to turn the fan on. However, if the water is coming out of the radiator at 195 on the trail you want the fan to be on. I think you just installed a way for your thermostat and fan to fight each other.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I have heard this before, but running on the outlet you would never get consistent temp depending on the airflow across the radiator, too inconsistent. With the 200 degree thermostat I have now the fan never shuts off because it will never get below the 185. I will need to get a higher temp thermostat so it doesn’t run all the time.

[@mrfixit____3651]

Muddy Beards 4X4 a switch on the output Side will only turn the fan on when there wasn't enough airflow across the radiator to cool the coolant to a designated temperature, the switch would have to be a lower temp 200 deg. You can pick what temp you want the coolant going into the engine.

[@carter480]

i agree, I did this setup and the fan ran too much and watching temps on my extended dash I just wasn't happy with how it worked, where my 4.0 is boosted, I need the cooling system to work flawlessly, I finally pulled the petcock and installed the temp sensor down there, its been perfect going on 3+ years now.. cold side is better.. on a side note, I am using the black magic flexalite fan.. 3+ years on that too..

[@chrisgoosebeck]

Awesome video, I'm getting ready to do this but I had a question about a different way of routing. I want to be able to manual power the fan on with a switch in addition to allowing the thermo switch to power the fan. What is the wiring diagram for this method?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

In order to over ride the thermo switch all you have to do is ground the wire coming off the thermo straight to ground with a switch. Super easy. You can actually pull the wire off the thermo switch and just touch it to the housing and the fan should come on.

[@chrisgoosebeck]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 Gotcha, so basically complete the thermo switch circuit and put a switch in the middle as an interupt.

[@independentfool]

Add a parallel ground with switch that goes to the same terminal as the sensor on the relay.

[@yzfr1nate]

Wired mine a bit different. My relay trigger wire is ground and when the thermo switch gets to temp it completes the circuit to the relay ground. Dont need an interior switch.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Correct, you don’t need a switch, but I prefer one so I can manual override it to shut it off if I happen to go through deep water.

[@ar90242]

Quick question Nate is the relay trigger wire the brown wire?

[@bentramell729]

Thats what im going to do too, dont need an interior switch. But im going to have to figure out how all this Hooks up once I get the kit, probably have to watch this video a few times trying to figure out how to delete the interior switch step and how all that differs.

[@djtoo7]

I think I need to flip your housing so the sensor is coming up from the bottom to make sure it stays in the coolant the hose dosnt fill to the top when it’s running ???

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Once the thermostat opens, its under pressure so there is coolant up there Anytime it’s running.

[@streetlegalbuilds7644]

Does it have to be on the inlet or can I install it on the outlet side. Inlet is at the bottom and is really tight top hose is perfect tho.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

You can run either but you will have to adjust the sensor temperature because it will be on a different on the inlet and outlet.

[@nowayhunting]

i put a fan on my truck and it won"t come on by itself. i had to wire it so it comes on with when i turn on the key. after watching your video, i put tape on the threads of the sensor. do you think that is my problem? its not grounded? really don"t want it running all the time cause it will wear out faster.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

The sensor needs to be grounded through the sensor threads. I have a wire from the aluminum thermostat housing to a chassis ground.

I have the stock 195 thermostat, and I now have a 210-195 temp switch. Works great. Keeps it right at around 200- 210. I have been thinking of dropping to the 185 thermostat and switch to a 200-185 switch. But it runs fine so I probably won’t mess with it since it’s not too hot here in Washington.

[@bentramell729]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 so I hooked mine up, didn't work, however I did it differently, the instructions with the kit say to put the relay as close to the fan as you can and the short red wire goes to your fan not to the circuit breaker, I mounted the relay next to the fan, put the short red wire on my fan ran the long red wire from the relay to the circuit breaker mounted on the firewall, that what the instructions say to do....and its not working, of course brown wire to the ignition fuse which I have a jump fuse on the inside fuse box that runs 2 10amp bus fuses on one slot which is how I had my stereo toggle and flexalite controller ran previously and the long black wire to the sensor, fan grounded, inline coupler grounded. So your way is different but im gonna throw their instructions in the trash and try it your way and see if it works. Just ran out of daylight messing with it, I thought my thermostat might be bad so I pulled all that and installed a new one still fan never came on, running the 210-195 one.

Weird, I don’t know what vehicle, were your switch is in the system or what temperature of switch you have, but I really doubt you have 2 bad switches, but I have seen weirder things, lol.

The one I got was ASI performance on eBay. To be honest all those ones on amazon and eBay are probably the exact same one, lol. I have not had any problems with it.

[@nathanbebinger3202]

What fan do you have in your TJ right now?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

The one that came with my radiator 2 years ago. No name brand on it, so 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Never had any Jeep overheat with a proper mech fan.. especially a tj..

[@WrongTurnAdventures]

Hey Kelly, was that temperature range good in the long run?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I ended up going with a 210-195 sensor not the 200-185. Lasted 2 summers, still working great👍🏻

[@WrongTurnAdventures]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 cheers, I'll give that a try. Mines on constantly at the moment and gets annoying.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Yea I had the same problem. So I bumped the temp up 10 degrees and it cycles on and off perfect.

[@JuanUgalde-ip7kp]

What's the best temperature for myf1504.6

[@tonywilliams3090]

I don’t see a link for the kit you got..

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Not really a kit, but everything is in our Amazon store, the links are in the description.

Where did you get the little blue aluminum housing? And what MM size is it?

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I put everything I used in our Amazon store. www.amazon.com/shop/muddybeards4x4

[@PastorOverall]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 Thanx I ordered 38mm but it seems a bit small for my radiator hose but I will give it a shot. I may have to find a 42mm or 44mm but your video solved a big problem for me....Check that, I went outside and checked it and you are right on. The 38mm works just fine. Again thanx

[@PastorOverall]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 Finally got it all wired up and installed and worked like a charm...Thanx %100

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Nice, glad it worked out 🤟🏻

[@casey360360]

Where at in WA? I need people to go wheel with!!

[@bomark2002]

When i click the top link on your amazon store it opens google but shows a blank white page

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks for the heads up, I will look into it

[@bomark2002]

Possibly my phone but just giving you a heads up just in case

[@chrisdauenhauer2187]

It was $130 an hour for 5 hours = $650 plus taxes and some other incidentals making it $730. Just want to make sure I didn't get ripped off. How long would you expect to have to pay a shop at that shop rate?

[@jacksmith3189]

Any idea what that the inside diameter of your upper radiator hose is ? I need to purchase the correct size Thanks

[@JesseLyon13]

the one he links to in the description is 38mm. Seems to fit mine too, but Im using it on a '65 GTO ;)

[@independentfool]

Measure your own, sizes vary by vehicle.

[@magicone9327]

To bad they dont use the two wire, no ground required, type sender. That type is so much easier.

[@petermorton2869]

Hi Sir there is a 14" electric radiator cooling fans & have 2500 CFM & 90 watt electric fan motor & I ask the Seller if these electric Radiator cooling fans have straight flat blades as well as the picture that shows on AliEpress Store a curved blade electric fan & you can buy the straight flat bladed electric as well as the straight flat bladed electric fan units have a lot more air flow than the curved bladed electric fan units & the only draw back the straight fan bladed electric fan units are a bit noisier & that wouldn't worry me & the curved bladed electric fan units are quieter & that's the difference between between the straight flat electric fan units & I much have a better air flow than having a curved electric fan units what do you reckon Sir Kind Regards Peter

[@Wireman134]

Just drill and tap a 3/8" NPT.

[@aaronhjelmstrom9727]

Does that adapter have enough room to do that do you know?

[@patrickshelley1579]

I had the same one. Failed in a truck that never sees mud or water, just a bad design in my own opinion.

[@stephenkamin1345]

why did you cut the rad hose? you could have just put the thermostat into the water jacket on the block...??? That would have totally cured your ground issue and as a rule...i never cut a hose...

[@akilimercer8530]

Spal fan

[@tomkelly3896]

No way there is a 60 degree temp drop across the radiater🤔

[@steveo9115]

I don't know if it's a jeep thing and I'll never understand but with the very few brain cells I have being a more of a 4.2l Nissan patrol person you won't get a proper reading putting it there you will only get the radiator temp not the motor temp because it's got to wait for the thermostat to open if you find somewhere on the intake manifold where there is coolant you will get a proper reading

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I am not trying to get a proper reading of coolant temp. I have the factory temp sensor for that. I am trying to control when my coolant fan cycles on. Which I can place basically anywhere in the system and control when the fan comes on and off by changing the thermostatic switch temp range.

[@user-rz2wj1un4i]

It'll look less like a Honda if you used a thermostat housing that's drilled for a temp sensor. All of $20.

[@jlrockafella]

Any law enforcement who followed that stupid quarantine should quit or retire😡

[@markgeletzke6328]

You keep calling the temperature switch in the blue coupler thermostat, it's not... It's a switch that reads temperature.. A thermostat opens and closes allowing water to flow through your engine and the radiator..The switch you keep calling a thermostat turns on the fans at a desired temperature.. What am I missing, better question, what are you missing..

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I understand what a thermostat is... and the difference. Google the part and it is called a thermostat sending unit, thermostat switch... almost every manufacturer calls it a thermostat switch..
