2005-2010 Grand Cherokee Hydraulic fan delete; 16" Spal Electric fan, aluminum fan shroud conversion

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 powers steering pump, and retrofitted/modded a all aluminum fan shroud that was made to fit the previous generation of Grand Cherokee (99-04 models) to work on this 2005-2010 Jeep since nobody makes a fan shroud specifically for these Jeeps...

We first deleted all the 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 fitting 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 era 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 (easy to do) and it bolts right up then!... 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!
