Okay, question on a '98 Grand Cherokee with the 5.9L ... does anyone know how many amps the stock cooling fan draws? Or know of a good GC forum where they would be able to tell me?
A guy I know has one and his stock fan burned up. We're wondering how easy it would be to replace it with one of the 3.8L Taurus fans I have. It'd be cool if we could just wire it into his existing cooling fan wiring. I know the Taurus fan draws something like close to 100 amps on startup and around 30 running. I figure the Jeep fan can't be that far off, but I dunno.
I guess worst case scenario we may have to run a relay and possibly some larger gauge wires in the event that the Taurus fan pulls more current. I'm assuming that even if we had to do this, we could still use the factory wiring to activate the fan, since it's already set up for temperature control... does that seem like it would work?
