Newbe here... 1990 cherokee, set up for offroading, but needs some work. Owned for a month.
This is my first car with a fan clutch, most my prior cars didnt even have a radiator. (classic vws, porsche) Have some watercooled cars, a triumph, vanagon wasserboxer, and a 914 with a Buick V6, they all have electric fans on their radiators, otherwise most my cars are aircooled.
how does one determine if the fan clutch is operating correctly? I plan to off road, slow speeds, and want to make sure the fan clutch is up to the task of cooling.
At what rpm does the fan clutch kick in and fully engage, disengage?
How does one determine correct operation? Know if it is slipping too much or not?
I read about a ZJ clutch as an upgrade for offroading, how is that clutch different in regards to being fully engaged, specifications?
Sorry for all the questions, this is all new to me.
thanks
keep jeeping!
