Has Anyone converted to an electric fan ??
If so what fan did you use??
Looking in the Jegs cat I am thinking about the Black Magic Heavy duty Electra-Fan
Pulls 2800 CFM at a 13.9 Amp draw.
Do you think 2800 cfm is enough??

I use a Ford Taurus 2 speed fan...

Here is my writeup...http://www.jeephorizons.com/tech/fan/

It doesnt show there but I use a Ford starter solinoid for the high speed side of the fan its mounted on the fender next to the battery...

Which engine? From everything I gathered, the Taurus won't work without extensive cutting of the shroud with the 4.0 and it still won't fit right, but pretty much drops in with the V8.

I just installed a Perma-Cool in the stock shroud of my 4.0 and it's working great so far. One of these days I need to do a write-up of the install.

Best thing about doing the conversion is that I can yank the fan and the shroud out in only a couple of minutes. It would be really easy to go back to stock too.

Taurus fits with the 4.0. I have one in my Jeep. I just cut a little bit here and there to clean it up, no extensive trimming.
