![]() Side note: I thought it was strange that my auto mechanic never heard that a Jeep needed HOAT coolant, and that that might be a possible cause of it heating up. I'm not a "car guy" (although I wish I was), but I called around to my usual auto mechanic, and then the jeep dealership, and they gave me quotes of $140 and $170. So, what I decided to do is give it a full flush. It does not, therefore, all I have is the electrical radiator fan. Also, in answer to the other question - in my ignorance, I just assumed that since the jeep seemed to have all the other "bells & whistles", as well as the tow hitch, that it had the tow package. So, I wanted to give a quick update just in case this helps anyone in the future. The dealer using De-mineralized water mix with hoat is what I recommend for the best protection overall. Using tap water to flush no matter what, will leave hard water inside the block, unless you drain the block too. (you want one!) Your A/C should also preform better then too.įlush at home: Well it can be done, but not very environmentally friendly. Now about the viscous fan, fact the electrical fan will have to work harder without a mechanical fan especially in summer. Plugging into the OBDII port with a scangauge will report actual temperatures and I know the KJ's high speed fan does not engage until around 227F. If you have a correctly functioning temp gauge it may go slightly above the middle stuck idling in traffic for instance/ normal. First off unless you are driving with your hood off, these jeeps get real hot especially in warmer climates.ĭo I have the temperatures specs etc for the KK to kick into high speed. The electrical cooling fan ya.lets talk about that. TYC 621940 Jeep Liberty Replacement Radiator/Condenser Cooling Fan Assembly I'll have to save that for another post because I really just want to see what the most common causes are.ĮDIT: Btw, this is the fan that I'm looking at from Amazon. I have another question, but it has to do with my engine light and an emissions leak. Can I just go with a fan kit from my local Autozone, etc? I'm guessing it doesn't have a fan clutch that connects to the water pump? Just a cooling fan assembly? Am I on the right track for replacing the fan first? So I have a couple of (dumb) questions when it comes to my 2011 Jeep Liberty Limited 4x4: I don't know a lot about fixing cars, but I've done minor repairs on my wife's envoy - replacing electric window motors, a/c actuators, water pumps, tune-ups, fan clutch, etc. I noticed the fan would keep spinning for a bit. I also tried testing it by letting it heat up in my driveway, and then turn off ignition. I don't notice any leaks of any kind, and there's plenty of coolant. But once I would take off on a main road and get up to 30-40mph, it would cool off VERY quick - within 30 seconds usually. I've noticed over the past year that my jeep's temperature really started to creep up when I would be at a stop light or sitting in a drive thru. So, from my research, it sounds like this has been talked about quite a bit. ![]()
