GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system regulates engine operating tem-
perature. It allows the engine to reach normal oper-
ating temperature as quickly as possible. It also
maintains normal operating temperature and pre-
vents overheating.
The cooling system also provides a means of heat-
ing the passenger compartment and cooling the auto-
matic transmission fluid (if equipped). The cooling
system is pressurized and uses a centrifugal water
pump to circulate coolant throughout the system.
An optional factory installed maximum duty cool-
ing package is available on most models. This pack-
age will provide additional cooling capacity for
vehicles used under extreme conditions such as
trailer towing in high ambient temperatures.

COOLING SYSTEM COMPONENTS


The cooling system consists of:
• A radiator
• Cooling fan
• Thermal viscous fan drive
• Fan shroud
• Radiator pressure cap
• Thermostat
• Coolant reserve/overflow system
• Transmission oil cooler (if equipped with an
automatic transmission)
• Coolant Fig. 1 Engine Cooling System—4.0L Engine—
• Water pump Typical
• Hoses and hose clamps
Plastic tanks, while stronger than brass, are sub-
ject to damage by impact, such as from tools or

• Some reserve coolant to the radiator to cover
minor leaks and evaporation or boiling losses.
As the engine cools, a vacuum is formed in the
cooling system of both the radiator and engine. Cool-
ant will then be drawn from the coolant tank and
returned to a proper level in the radiator.
The coolant reserve/overflow system has a radiator
mounted pressurized cap, an overflow tube and a
plastic coolant reserve/overflow tank (Fig. 4) mounted
to the right inner fender.

ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT TENSION


Correct drive belt tension is required to ensure
optimum performance of the belt driven engine acces-
sories. If specified tension is not maintained, belt
slippage may cause; engine overheating, lack of
power steering assist, loss of air conditioning capac-
ity, reduced generator output rate, and greatly
reduced belt life.

pulleys) to check tension. Do not allow the gauge (or
gauge adapter) to contact anything but the belt.

5.2L ENGINE
It is not necessary to adjust belt tension on the
5.2L engine. The engine is equipped with an auto-
matic belt tensioner. The tensioner maintains correct
belt tension at all times. Due to use of this belt ten-
sioner, do not attempt to use a belt tension gauge on
5.2L engines.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER


An optional engine block heater (Fig. 5) (Fig. 6)is
available with for all models. The heater is equipped
with a power cord. The cord is attached to an engine
compartment component with tie-straps. The heater

VISCOUS FAN DRIVE


Also refer to the previous Cooling System Fan sec-
tion.
The thermal viscous fan drive (Fig. 12) (Fig. 13)is a
silicone-fluid-filled coupling used to connect the fan
blades to the water pump shaft. The coupling allows
the fan to be driven in a normal manner. This is
done at low engine speeds while limiting the top
speed of the fan to a predetermined maximum level
at higher engine speeds.
A thermostatic bimetallic spring coil is located on

found. Also inspect water pump bearing and shaft
assembly for any related damage due to a viscous
fan drive malfunction.

NOISE

NOTE: It is normal for fan noise to be louder (roar-


ing) when:

• The underhood temperature is above the engage-


ment point for the viscous drive coupling. This may
occur when ambient (outside air temperature) is very
high.
• Engine loads and temperatures are high such as
when towing a trailer.
Fig. 12 Viscous Fan Drive—4.0L Engine—Typical • Cool silicone fluid within the fan drive unit is
being redistributed back to its normal disengaged
(warm) position. This can occur during the first 15
seconds to one minute after engine start-up on a cold
engine.

LEAKS
Viscous fan drive operation is not affected by small
oil stains near the drive bearing. If leakage appears
excessive, replace the fan drive unit.

(5) Add coolant to reserve/overflow tank as neces-
sary. Only add coolant to the reserve/overflow
tank when the engine is cold. Coolant level in a
warm engine will be higher due to thermal
expansion. To purge the cooling system of all air,
this heat up/cool down cycle (adding coolant to cold

after each cool down period.

INSTALLATION
(1) Install pulley and pulley bolt to tensioner.

(2) Install tensioner assembly to mounting
bracket. An indexing tab is located on back of ten-

Tighten nut to 67 N·m (50 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) Connect all wiring to ignition coil.
(4) Install coil to coil bracket. If nuts and bolts are
used to secure coil to coil bracket, tighten to 11 N·m
(100 in. lbs.) torque. If coil mounting bracket has
been tapped for coil mounting bolts, tighten bolts to 5
N·m (50 in. lbs.) torque.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to coil case, coil


mounting bolts must be torqued.

(5) Install drive belt. Refer to Belt Removal/Instal-


lation in this group.

(5) After removing fan blade/fan drive assembly do
not place the thermal viscous fan drive in the hori-

INSTALLATION
(1) Assemble fan blades to viscous fan drive.
Tighten mounting bolts to 24 N·m (18 ft. lbs.) torque.
(2) Position fan, viscous fan drive and fan shroud
to the engine as one assembly.
(3) Position fan shroud to radiator. Be sure the
alignment tabs at the lower part of shroud are placed
into the slots near lower part of radiator.
Be sure the upper and lower portions of the fan
shroud are firmly connected. All air must flow
through the radiator.
(4) Position mounting flange of fan/viscous fan

has occurred. Clean radiator fins are necessary for
good heat transfer. With the engine cold, apply cold
water and compressed air to the back (engine side) of
the radiator to flush the radiator and/or A/C con-
denser of debris.

FAN BLADE INSPECTION


The fan blades cannot be repaired. If the fan is
damaged, it must be replaced. Inspect the fan blades
as follows:
Lay fan blade assembly on a flat surface with lead-
ing edge facing down. With tip of blade touching flat
surface, replace fan if clearance between opposite
blade and surface is greater than 2.0 mm (.090 inch).
Rocking motion of opposite blades should not exceed
2.0 mm (.090 inch). Test all blades in this manner.

WARNING: IF FAN IS NOT WITHIN SPECIFICA-


TIONS, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BEND OR
STRAIGHTEN FAN.

Inspect fan assembly for cracks, bends, loose rivets


or broken welds. Replace fan if any damage is found.

CAUTION: If the fan blade assembly is replaced


because of mechanical damage, the water pump
and viscous fan drive should also be inspected.
These components could have been damaged due
to excessive vibration.

WATER PUMP INSPECTION


Replace water pump assembly if it has any of the
following conditions:
• The body is cracked or damaged
• Water leaks from shaft seal. This is evident by
traces of coolant below vent hole
• Loose or rough turning bearing. Also inspect vis-
cous fan drive
