Review on ๐Ÿš™ TYC 620560 1997-2001 Jeep Cherokee I6 Radiator & Condenser (Standard) Cfa by Pete Gibson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I think I like this fan - Dorman 650-001 Outlets

The old fan in my '00 XJ is a Dorman 620-001. It came with the car when I bought it used so I have no idea how old it is. He was working well but wanted to make sure the cooling system was in top condition. Before removing the Dorman sensor I checked its airflow with my anemometer and based on the coverage area I got 780cc. fpm at 13.3v. TYC installed and using the same approach got 1150cc. CFM assessment. With this, TYC clearly outperforms Dorman when the fan is running. One could argue that the new Dorman would flow better, but I doubt it. This one looks and works 100% good. A potential downside to the TYC is that the footprint is 25% smaller than the Dorman, so air doesn't flow through it as easily when the fan isn't running as it is on the Dorman. This can cause the radiator to be less efficient on the road at temperatures below the electric fan's starting temperature (about 220F). I'll get in touch via the TYC after a few kilometers.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Nothing
