1996 xj Cherokee clutch fan upgrade
Hi, i was wondering if anyone has done the zj/zg fan clutch upgrade? My clutch is totally rooted, it spins for a good 10 seconds after the car is turned off and its started to cause a hot idle due to little air flowing into the radiator, if anyone has done the upgrade, a part number or place to buy it would be awesome... as well as how much of a difference it made. On the other hand if no one has done the zj/zg upgrade, im hoping someone could point me in the direction of a good Heavy duty xj fan clutch, thanks in advance !

I'm running the Hayden 2737 in mine. The fan is a lot closer to the radiator (Adrad aftermarket) but never been a problem.
It sounds like a truck taking off hard at the lights, but temps have been noticeably lower ever since. I wasn't overheating prior to the upgrade but it takes a lot more effort to get it to the hot side of the gauge these days.
(Installed some time in late 2012 I believe)

im running a 3 row alloy rad in mine, do you think id have any trouble with clearance? i played around with the stud on the back of the clutch and it is now sitting at 100c or just below in normal operation, but knowing the clutch is stuffed id rather replace it as i know itll totally go while im half way up a mountain...
