That's the one I bought.  SHould work fine for a 4 cyl in the factory location

Actually not the one I bought.  Mine is the 18" variety

ahh kool, thanks for the info. I found a 18inch fan on ther as well and its cheaper. Looks like (at least from the descriptions) that most of the electric fans would work in a jeep 4x4.

Thinking this maybe the one for me TJ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lincoln-3-8-4-6-Electric-Fan-5000-CFM-Taurus-V8-Mustang_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286Q2em14Q2el1318QQhashZitem230272270269QQitemZ230272270269

It's the same fan...

not to bring up an old post but figured we have enough threads about electric fans that i might as well add to one... anyways i went to the junk yard today with a friend and decided to get a electric fan from a Taurus... problem being i didn't do as much research as i should have / left the cheat sheet at home... so i ended up with a fan from a 94 Taurus with the 3.0l only to come home to see i wanted the 3.8l... the fan is a 2 speed and 15.5 inch fan. i am wondering if anyone knows if it will have enough flow.. couldn't fine any rating with a Google search (alot about the 1 for the 3.8l). but since from must of what i have read you guys are only using the low speed i would think that this one could work and at worst case have to use high...

long term i would like it to be able to cool a 4.3l v6. but would like to save a trip back to the yard to get the 3.8l fan.... or am i to lazy and i should just go back tomorrow?

I'm running a fan from a Lincoln MK VIII. I run it on the low setting only and it more than does it's job. I did manage to fry the temp. control module (most likely just the relay) over the last week or so. I may need to add a Freewheeling Diode to the circuit to protect it.

As for your problem. I don't think the 3.0l fan is the same part # and it may pull less cfm. I know the Lincoln fan I have sounds like a helicopter when it starts to wind up and it does pull a significant amount of air, even on low.

I did the same thing found a 3.0 fan its is a single speed and it will work you can hear it inside the jeep going down the road. BUT it will pull hard on your motor and alternator. I would upgrade to a 136amp alt. It fits real good and works great.

my 3.0l fan is from a 94 and was onyl used 94-95 and has 2 speeds, has 3 wires 1 black 1 brown and 1 yellow, it will pull less air but it doesn't sound like id need anymore flow. i think ill just go with it and see how it goes.. but should probably get my temp gauge working again (hasn't worked once since i pulled the motor to fix the slave cylinder), and a better alternator of curse.

What would the best wiring being for a tj that is more of a daily driver than an over roader?
as in cut offs for the fan and the temp

I love my fk35, doesn't require relays and only pulls the minimum amount of amps required to keep the engine cool.

Same here... And the temp can be modified by jumpers of you so choose...

i think i got mine from a 3.8 taurus for about 20$  and i still have it on low/  actually unless im sitting still for a while i dont even turn it on/  i drive to and from work with it off most of the time.

[cletz97]

How much did you guys pay for the fk35?

[Bounty Hunter]

Around $130 or so, it's on the website.  Well worth it for me.
