2005-2010 Grand Cherokee Hydraulic fan delete; 16" Electric fan conversion & aluminum fan shroud
2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hydraulic-fan to Electric fan conversion we made & installed for my brothers 5.7 Hemi Jeep..
We got rid of all of that dumb hydraulic cooling fan setup that runs off the power steering pump, and retrofitted/modded a all aluminum fan shroud that was made to fit the previous generation of Grand Cherokee (99-04 WJ models) to work on this 2005-2010 WK Jeep, since nobody makes a fan shroud specifically for these model Jeeps yet...
We first deleted all the 5.7L V8 hydraulic high-pressure lines, by using the 3.7L V6 style high-pressure power steering hoses, and a V6 style power steering pump as well (which had the smaller hydraulic fiting for the V6 line to thread into) everything else bolts right in place same as if it was stock. Makes it into a normal power steering system then!
Then we bought the 1999-2004 WJ 4.7L V8 Aluminum Fan Shroud, and cut the mounting tabs off, and relocated them to fit the 2005-2010 era 5.7L V8 Radiator mounting points by using Pop-rivits and stainless-steel fine-thread screws & lock nuts to secure the relocated brackets back to it (easy to do) and then it bolts right up then to the OEM mounting points on the radiator!.. Then we bolted a super nice 16" SPAL Brand electric fan to it, and wired it in with a nice heavy-duty 80-amp relay & 10 gauge wiring for it all..
Sucks air like a champ now, and has ZERO stress on the power steering pump now! That factory hydraulic fan setup was WICKED hard on the stock power steering system when it would engage, when towing especially!

Jeep Grand Cherokee, Power Mirror Repair Stuck Motors (1996-1998 ZJ's)
Showing how to safely take the power mirror completely apart, to get iniside it to the two seized up, and stuck electric motors inside it; to free them back up and put the mirror back into fully-functional working order once again!... These are the really high dollar top trim level mirror too that were worth saving and giving a new lease on life... These are Power/Heated/Painted/Memory/Auto-Dimming mirrors side view mirrors... The Memory & Auto-dimming features are what make these next to impossible to find true new matching replacement ones in the aftermarket realm... So repairing what you 5 got is by far the best optiin!
