[Bubba]

you need a real engine fan the draw on them poncy leky things is killing the belts


and have to say i am wondering about porus block/head problems

[JamesH]

I had a similar conversation about cracked head / exhaust port with Robsrotti tonight. Interesting that CJ Paul also ran out of electrickery due to those fans running lots.

Great minds think alike or fools seldom differ as my granny used to say.  I had the same conversation with ade yesterday!

[djrr6]

As before I can send down the thermal camera down and get it onto a road to overheat it then view and video

That way at least you can see if there is a crack in the head etc as it will show up clearly or at least see which side of engine or whether the rad not performing etc

I am reliably informed by one of the guys at work it can also be aimed at the woman on reception for surprising image results but that is not covered by the warranty...

Ade, no electric fan will move as much air as the stock mechanical fan with a shroud, I arrived home on Saturday slightly hot but with no electricity left, my Mondeo fans pull 25 amps which is quite a lot.

Have just ordered one of these

If this doesn't do the trick the old mechanical fan, which is currently hanging on the garage wall winking at me, might make an appearance, will just need to avoid deep water or shroud / waterproof the electrics

no point throwing radiators at the jeep when it still produces excessive heat, cure the fault is always the best option where possible

putting in 5ltrs of water confirms there is a leak somewhere this really needs tracing but with that much heat generated by the engine and not being removed, any trace of lost coolant would evaporate with next to no evidence.

you can buy electric fans that move different CFM of air.

I will be in touch mate - thank you 

Im just gonna play with my new motor for a week or so before I revisit the Chief - I figure if I ignore it and make it jealous it may bring it back in line

[Nosebolt]

got a teraflex fan laying around somewhere that should fit a V8, yours if you want it

[Bulldog67]

cheers dood - may take you up on that

did much trawling of US forums and 50% the fans are magic, and 50% went back to stock

the new alternator is a super high output job so in theory - especially now the cabling has been sorted - should be up to the job

[Dave The Sparky]

How many amps is it BD i never asked and i am now intrigued???

[Bulldog67]

I will dig out the sheet 2mrw mate - not the sorta info I can commit to memory

[Dave The Sparky]

It was pumping well over 50 Amps in to that flat battery on tickover so must be fairly large.

Ignoring your excitement at receiving "The Pimp mobile" don't forget to get a new starter solenoid for that temporary joint we did....
oh who am i trying to kid, we will mend it next years cheapfest and i will remember to bring the proper crimpers this time.........

[Bulldog67]

  I knew we understood each other

[Bubba]

a repair markee next year

[JamesH]

Good plan

[Bulldog67]

I shall get a banner made for it: "The Temple of Bulldog"

[Nosebolt]

The Temple of Bulldog, where the head cleric sacrifices Jeeps and the congregation tries to bring them back to life
