- 1-year update on the 16" SPAL brand electric fan and aluminum fan shroud setup I put together for my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 5.2L V8...
Still all working like a champ! It's already been put to the test during the dead of summer towing my camper up mtns, idling in traffic long term with the AC full-blast (throwing ice-cubes at my face it's so cold at idle now haha) and never seen above 207 degrees ever during any if it at the absolute maximum!
awesome, givin me some ideas
Would you mind doing a little write up with specific parts you used?
Nice ZJ and clean fan set up
Thanks, ans I did a more in-depth video on my brother's page, when I did the exsct same setup in his, only his has the 4.0L Inline-6 engine, so it was a MUCH tighter fit lol...

Where did u get the radiator and upgraded fan kit?
@@Msgiant-pr8rs Here you go, I made a complete list of EVERYTHING needed, all in one Amazon list...

are you running a stock radiator? I want to run an all-aluminum at least two row but I am looking for a little more tried-it info from others before I pull the trigger. you've done some really nice things to this Jeep man good job. for sure going to be looking at your vids to check out the build.
Thanks a lot, and no this is a dead-stock radiator and cooling system, minus this electric fan setup... It operates perfectly, I have zero need for a aluminum aftetmarket radiator for it. I do appreciate it though
I love your setup. I have sooooo many questions.
@phatpromo1364 Thanks so much!! Please feel free to ask me all your questions, I can answer them all for you...
I'm driving that Jeep as we speak, it's currently 95 degrees at the moment, and 65% humidity outside, and my AC is throwing ice-cubes at my face, and the coolant temperature is currently running 186 degrees idleing right now (with running a 205 thermostat!) It'll run about 195-199 while driving with the ac on even on a day like today with that 205 thermostat and this nice electric fan setup!
@@jeepjoe1996 Dude, that is absoutely fire. I am running into some cooling problems, overflowing from tank. I have a 3 core Aluminum Radiator and electric fan but mine doesn't suck like yours, at all. Also I have major questions about your stereo setup and the VIC replacement. Is there an more direct way to chat. So i can share pics etc?
@@jeepjoe1996 Also, where did you source your fan shroud. I would have to see what size my aftermarket aluminum radiator is though. The Fan and setup was prior to me.
@phatpromo1364 Sure thing, send me a friend request please, and message me and I'll be more than happy to send you links to everything and explain things for you and send you pictures too

Nice mod and exhaust sound. What muffler brand are you using. Definitely like the Jeep screen purchased one myself to hopefully install it. But my big question is your coolant system is dope. How would I go about having you install it on my 4.0L ZJ
Thanks a lot!... It is a name brand (not a cheap knock off version) Flowmaster 40 series chambered muffler, and 4" Stainless-steel tip 18" long. Nothing special, but built to last without coming apart at the welds inside and rattling like the cheaper knock-offs do (like Thrush weleded series chambered mufflers)...
And yeah, that's a 9" Single-din Car Joying brand Android headunit, I LOVE them! Installed 97 of those radios now from that company in the last 9 years...
And here's a video I did on my brother's channel, on his 1997 4.0 ZJ, it's the exact same setup I put together for my 5.2 V8 engine setup, only you have almost zero clearance for a good electric fan setup on the much longer Inline-6 engines LOL...
Here's the link to the video, it was me doing the work in the video...

What fan/shroud is that? I really like the aluminum set up! And did it come with the plug and play set up or did you have to wire that into the new fan?
Na it is all universal fit stuff I put together and made practically plug and play myself...
Here's the fan shroud I use...

De carro es el abanico que adaptaste y el bulbo a amperaje ?
Had the same electric fan setup, but suddenly it has been failing and not turning on. Ended up overheating the system… I need to figure out the best way to work bulletproof
Which part of your setup seemed to have failed? The fan motor, relay, the wiring setup, or something else on yoursm
what head unit is that?
It is the 9" Single-din Car Joying brand Android headunit... I can not say enough great things about that headunit too!!! It looks so perfect in the dash, goes in without any cutting or modding to the dash bezel at all, and has excellent sound quality and screen quaility, and works perfectly with my factory steering wheel control buttons too!...
Here's the link the the exact radio...

How did you install those 2 lcds and which ones did you use?
Also, on the lower screen does it display 4x4 status?
No it doesn't display the 4x4 stuff (no need to really being a 5.2L, it only has Full-time 4-wheel drive, Neutral, 4-Low so It's common sense what position it is in on this t-case layout atleast...
But what I did was to install this obd-2 screen inside of my V.I.C. and wire its two buttons to the Up arrow and OK button on it, so I can control it via the stock buttons...

@@jeepjoe1996 I assume this is the one you're using even though it says 2003 and newer. Correct?
@phatpromo1364 Yes correct, for us in the USA it is for all 1996 and newer... Different countries switched over to obd-2 mandatory at different years believe it or not lol...
But yeah, it's worked in every vehicle we've ever plugged those obd-2 things onto so far yep
What exact remote starter do you have for this Jeep?
This Compustar CS-800S model number one, I installed it SEVERAL year ago now (like 7 or 8 Christmases ago)...
Link to it... (It's discontinued model now, but the newer model is the same thing just different color and a connector or two changed slightly is all, the newer one is model number CS-920s)
Here's the link to the old one I have installed first though...

And here's the link to the newer up to date in stock model now...

Then first the door locks in the 1996-1998 Grand Cherokees, you'll need two (2) sets of these door lock relays...
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0009SZHR4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
One set inside the driver's door, and another set inside the passenger door (since from the factory they are wired separately since they had the drivers-priority door unlock feature from the factory where first unlock press did the drivers door only and the 2nd unlock press unlocked all the other doors...
They are all wired separately, one via the DDM (Drivers Door Module), and all the other door locks get power via the PDM (Passenger Door Module)
Awesome thank you!!!
@@Nyemaavery31 Yep, you're welcome
Which spal are you using ? Great video I have a 4.0 in a 98 would love to have this setup.
This exact fan right here...
www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003PB9QRO?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
It is a TIGHT squeeze on the 4.0L engines, since they sit much closer to the radiator...
We did that to my brother's 1997 4.0 ZJ though last year too, let me go find the link on my brother's CZcams channel and post you the link to it too
