Description
The Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Fan Shroud (MMFS-XJ-89) is a purpose-built electric cooling upgrade for the 1989-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ 4.0L, replacing the stock engine-driven mechanical fan with three Mishimoto high-flow 10-inch electric slim fans. Each fan is rated to move a constant 950 CFM regardless of engine speed, and in Mishimoto’s own testing this shroud pushed 41.9-percent more air than the stock fan shroud at idle and 22-percent more at 2,500 RPM. This particular listing is the polished finish version, sold without the optional fan controller.
Built around a lightweight aluminum shroud that covers more of the radiator core than the factory piece, this Cooling upgrade lets your entire radiator benefit from the added airflow instead of just the area swept by the stock fan. Because the heavy, belt-driven mechanical fan is eliminated, the engine sheds rotating mass and drag, freeing up horsepower and torque for trail driving rather than spinning a fan. One of the three fans takes over the job of the stock AC fan, and the included AC fan jumper harness keeps AC function working correctly on 1997-2001 models. The fans can be triggered manually with a switch (sold separately) or with Mishimoto’s optional adjustable fan controller, which mounts conveniently to the shroud and can be set to activate the fans anywhere from 150°F to 240°F.
