Triple Electric Fan System Install

[@the.murrball]

This kit works awesome... if your alternator is mounted below your AC compressor make sure when doing this install you flip the upper alternator mounting bolt so that the nut side is towards the front of the vehicle... otherwise you will not be able to remove said bolt without removing the entire fan system when you need to replace an alternator

[@yerwrng]

LoL I'll have to look and see how put my bolts back after doing my 00 wire set up I may have it like this already ,but if not good heads up because it would suck having to pull my front clip just to swap an alternator in the future because the bolt won't come forward .

[@spinachchin3452]

Awesome set up. Cant wait to get this in my XJ. Very informed video. Im glad I bought an XJ. The community is great!

[@pengoat9]

4 ways to hook these up so test it before install.I got one real cheap because owner had wired wrong and or had fans on wrong..#1 negative polarity - #2 positive polarity,#3 fans in one direction #4 fans facing other direction..It can be in and seem to be working great but not cooling because it is blowing air back at the radiator instead of pulling it through but when it is running you can hardly tell the difference because it is backdrafting??It blows at the radiator then air loops around and funnels back out through the fan fooling you into thinking it is running correctly

[@yerwrng]

I bought the set up .I was thinking of relocating the radiator to the rear for a few reasons . The underwood temps get fairly high crawling my xj doesn't overheat but shit get hot underwood even the Ori struts in the fender well get too hot to touch for more than a second or two . The aux fan when switched on keeps the driver side cool so I figure 3 fans that run anytime I want that pull good cfm at crawl speeds should drop temps . I'm also not worried about the mechanical fan hitting the radiator in an extreme case .I think I'll be dripping in an upgraded alternator shortly as well . If nothing else the fan shroud set up will look great hung above my cargo mounted fuel cel right off the c-hoop .l

[@alex_ottomano]

Also I must say this is a really badass setup, nice work.

[@scottloutner5253]

When you install the pasenger side fan is very close to the water pump bolts. They need cut off to the nuts. If your motor mounts are old, when you put in drive motor will move over and destory that fan. I moved my fan all the way until the edge of shroud and drilled new holes. Problem solved. Even with bad mount. You wont hit. A precaution measure.

[@KSuspension]

Don’t need to cut anything on the water pump bolts as the face is a hex head with plenty of clearance. No protruding bolt or stud Now the fan clutch bolts are studs sticking out, and you remove them to install the replacement hex head bolts provided for a flush finish with no impact to the fans

[@Norseman311]

Hmmm might do this

[@MiguelGutierrez-cz3hw]

Should the fans push air in or out the way you have it set up

[@KSuspension]

They pull inwards

[@estructuraltetzcoco9443]

Thanks for the great video. We have a 96 Xj 4.0 used as a service truck and heavy towing (>2.5 ton); occasionally overheats on stock setup. Which combo would you recommend: 1.- Flowkooler WP + 3 core rad + 3 e fans 2.- Flowkooler WP + 3 core rad + ZJ fan clutch Thank you again

[@KSuspension]

We would recommend a stock water pump, stock tstat housing with 195* tstat, stock radiator, and either a stock fan system or our cyclone fan system. Either will suffice!

double nut lock them, and turn them out normally

[@emmanuelfernandez1238]

You said the system is not designed to solve overheating issues do you really mean that or are you saying that just for liability?

[@KSuspension]

It doesn’t fix overheating, if you’re overheating, you have other issues that should be addressed, unless it’s an air flow issue, in which case this kit offers great air flow across the coil. If it’s a flow issue, this won’t do anything about it. Have to figure out what you’re experiencing before taking the next step

Sweet, I'm located in Boise as well. Just bought my first XJ 2 weeks ago, and found out this weekend the fan clutch is bad. I was looking around at electric fans replacements and I think I found a winner with yours.

[@KSuspension]

Tapiokah Puddin welcome to the jeep life, if you ever have any questions or need assistance with work, feel free to email or call anytime!

[@escozx2]

I thought the clutch fan pulls more air then any E-fan. I have the zj clutch fan and it moves a lot of air. Would this be a better set up?

[@KSuspension]

escozx2 the clutch fan will pull about 6000cfm on full load, but you're also doing about 70 on the highway. At idle, your'e tops 2000rpm crawling the trails, its not spinning as fast so it's less air flow The electric fan setup is constant at all times and you remove the drag lost by the clutch fan. And a ZJ clutch pulls more drag than the xj clutch. You'll notice a definite power change

[@escozx2]

K, cool I'll definitely check it out when it comes out.

[@MileHighs]

Hey just curious to how this has held up? Looking at doing the same. Also do you have a link to fans you used?

[@KSuspension]

we've had it in this red rig since the video was shot and is still running them, we've installed dozens more and sold to many others with positive results. You can find the entire kit on our website: ksuspension.com we've changed the shroud design, but the premise is still the same.

[@Codvrv]

Where did you end up putting that yellow wire? And how exactly did you run all those wires to the 2 fans?

[@KSuspension]

You can use any ignition source. And it’s 1 wire to each fan. The other is ground

[@paulingram1058]

I just bought a used 2001 Jeep Cherokee with this setup. The fans work properly when A/C turned on, otherwise don't turn on until about 205 degrees. In both instances only 2 of 3 work. The one closest to the battery never turns on. I don't see a switch anywhere inside the cab. Are all 3 supposed to kick on with or without A/C automatically?

[@KSuspension]

If it’s our kit, only 2 fans will turn on with the controller, the third is on the oem circuit and/or on a switch.

[@paulingram1058]

@@KSuspension OK; so 2 of the 3 fans will work as they're supposed to and the 3rd handles the OEM circuit regarding keeping the "check eng light" off, and does nothing further? . I find no" manual switch" anywhere. I suppose I need to adjust the temp activation threshold as you mentioned in this video back down towards 160 degrees as it doesn't turn on until about 205 degrees. Thank you for the info.

[@KSuspension]

@@paulingram1058 205 is a fine temperature to kick on at. 195 is when the tstat opens, 210 is operating temp, a swing from 195-225 is perfectly normal

[@corwinmallonee4319]

my question is why i couldn't just run/power these fans from my factory electric fan wiring?

[@KSuspension]

The factory circuit won't handle them efficiently, Your oem setup only has 1 electric fan and a clutch fan that's constantly running, so it doesn't kick on the Efan until it needs to have that little bit extra. If you wire in all 3 efans to your factory circuit, they won't come on unless you turn on the AC (older than 00 models) or if you reach 218*F, and you wouldn't be able to keep a normal operating temperature range. That's why the controller is vital to a good working system.

Does this only work if your cluster works? Because mine doesn’t, so I run a gauge and my fans on a toggle switch to be able to read temp and control heating. I tried to get SMOG(registration) here in CA 😮‍💨 and they said my fans have to run like factory in order to pass??? Where does the relay get its temp information from?

[@KSuspension]

Nope, you could rip the cluster entirely out and still run your fan system The sensor is on our controller which is either in the radiator or the tstat housing with our adaptor Tee fitting

What’s the CFM rating of the basic fans in the kit (non spal) you say 5,000 is that with the more expensive spal add on? Debating on buying this kit and for a hefty price of $600 I’m curious if the spal add on is really worth it.

[@alex_ottomano]

Wouldn't you say 160 is way too cool for the fans to come on? That's way before the thermostat would even open. I think on at 205-210 and off at about 185 about would be some good temps

[@KSuspension]

Alex Ottomano that works fine as well. I personally wanted them on sooner, I just personally wanted mine to come on sooner than later, but nothing wrong with jumping it up to about 185° for a cycle, that should be perfect
