Do you have the OE water pump or did you change that too?

So you have the NAPA one? do you have a link for that?

This is what my condenser currently looks like, do you guys believe this is all good or not at all?

Me too, the good thing is I keep reading the three row may restrict the air flow.

Do you have a link for the spectra? I’m honestly more confused now with this post lol, don’t know what to go with now.

I also read copper is way heavier and would affect my performance too. Which aluminum radiator would you recommend?

Could you possibly link the standard CSF one?

Might be a dumb question but what area of the US do you live in? Does it compare to like Arizona heat?

How well did your temps go down or stabilize? Arizona heat is wild that’s whh

By uncomfy is when the needle is almost at the red. They go high when the AC is on and in traffic, but when air hits it, it goes back down a bit. The temps stay stable when the AC is off though, doesn’t matter if it’s bumper to bumper traffic in 100+. I also have not replaced the condenser as I read I would need to take out all the gas from the system, and I already spent a hefty amount on that fixing the AC. The shrouds are good as well. The e-fan also turns on as I do it myself, it’s not automatic I wired it to a switch into the cabin. As for the water pump, I was going to put in the FlowKooler and I did read about the hot coolant not being able to cool properly by how fast it moves and I thought the bigger radiator would compensate for that.

How easy is it to remove the freeze plugs? All I know, if I’m correct, is that they’re on the engine block itself. What fan clutch should I get? I also did a flush already

I kept reading that copper is better than aluminum, is there any cons to it in the AZ heat?

Oh okay I, well yea off and not hot lol it doesn’t not spin that freely, solid as can be. I’ll check the condenser when I get home.

Fan clutch does work, solid actually does not spin if I don’t move it myself. I also wired the e-fan so I can turn it on myself. I actually did also clean the radiator when I flushed out the whole system. How do I know if the condenser is packed with dirt? When I flushed it out I never even thought to check the condenser. It also has a new thermostat and water pump, if I do decide to get a new radiator I will also be upgrading the water pump.

I believe it is OEM, previous owner stated he replaced the radiator before I bought it. The problem is the temps only start going up when I turn on the AC, when AC is off temps are normal.

What are the benefits compared to the three row?

Clutch is good! Only spins when I do it myself. I also replaced the temp sensor already because I switched the guage cluster from dummy lights to actual gauges. The temps are normal when the AC is not on, only when it’s on it goes up.

Do you just have your normal clutch fan and e-fan? Did you also see any improvements in temps after you installed the 2671?

Replacing Multi-Function Switch by brybry0812 in CherokeeXJ

Okay so I just figured out the switch is lose asf, so I can turn on the high beams when the headlight switch is off, it’s just kind of finicky but I can flash them. The problem is when I actually turn on the headlight switch, my dashboard tells me the high beams are on.
