Re: Hot Jeep
Get the jeep up to full operating temp (at least 15 minutes) on a warm
day. Shut the engine off, check to see if the fan blade can be turned.
It should be locked solid or at least quite firmly to the water pump
shaft. After it cools down, it should spin freely.

Better yet when it is running hot it should be engaged and pulling air
agressively. If it is not it has either lost its fluid or the bimetal
coil on it has aged to the point that the engagement temp it too high
to do any good (as the coil ages it raises engagement tempature). One
more thing, it should have no wobble or play in it. If you are of the
mind to tweak it I wrote a article some time ago on how to adjust or
tweak the bi metal coils on them. If is for a GM fan in pictures but
the theory is the same. I have done this many times over the years.
