They might be getting harder to find in the junkyards now days, but you might consider the Ford Taurus fan swap. Considered to be the most powerful electric fan you can use from either OEM or the aftermarket. It is a Ford 8C607 fan and is advertised as having 2500 CFM on low speed and 4500 CFM on high by most sources. It comes in the 90 to 95 Ford Taurus and Lincoln Mark VIII with the 3.8L engine.

That’s cool good to know some issues were dealing with is size the radiator width is really small because the Willy’s front is narrow but we think we found a solution

Is that your engine air intake under the hood? Isn’t that air pretty hot before it goes into the engine? Maybe consider a cold air intake and or some louvers in the hood!

Add the largest diameter SPAL puller fan you can on backside of radiator to increase cooling & look into better airflow ducting to radiator.

definitely need a high amp alternator to use electric ac. combine that with a taurus style fan and you will have problems. i suggest getting a spare high amp alternator to keep in the rig.

The 1.9 TDI is pleased to toss little Jettas to corners; however, pulling this rig can be a challenge in the long run, as overheating is a clear sign of it.

Also I think you need to build a shroud that will pull air through the entire radiator

could your charging prob be because of the low revs of the diesel ? different size pulley on the alt ?

What brand of AC "kit" did you go with??? The critical components of that kit appear to be doing fine so far. Time will tell. I need good AC kit for my Jeep YJ also an ALH build w/factory A/C comp deleted/removed. Nice build gentlemen.

So after taking my 50 pickup on power tour this year I came home and installed a kit similar to yours. I’m also running into low voltage while driving and I’m afraid I won’t have enough voltage to start the truck if Iv had the ac on to long. On the drive there. Just running 100amp alternator. Looks like I may have to install as second battery to help carry the load. What amp is your alt and what’s voltage are you at while the ac is running? Love the build by the way. Iv got some old Willy’s pickups I’d like to do somthing similar someday.
@jsomething23 ай бұрын
if. they will fit, look at the newer gm alternators, they have a 220amp one you can pick up used for 100$. default to 13.8v so one wire hook up or you can adjust voltage with a cheap pwm box.

When I did a cold air intake on my jeep cherokee it made a big difference! I never understood having the intake engine air coming from the engine compartment! Thats the space you want to cool down! By using air already heated by the engine it kind of defeats the purpose!

Good point! We will have to make a better intake

It probably would be more responsive with a manual but we built it so anyone can hop in and go. Honestly I think it’s a really good set up it’s very simple and with the new torque converter shifts great! We’re really happy with it!
