Engine cooling fan kaput

[gunny71]

My fan quit today at hour 5 of a six hour trip. I pulled in to a store, left the jeep running to keep the dog cool and when I came out I could hear coolant boiling. After letting it cool I was able to drive it home, as long as it was moving it got enough air to keep the temp at normal.
Fan has a hard spot in its rotation that binds up. I heard it squeaking yesterday. FML. New one will be in Thursday, I hope it's a simple swap.

OP, sorry about your bad luck, hope it's a simple fix too.

Extremely simple repair. Less than an hour.

I haven't found any videos online describing the process, but I assume I can pull it from below without removing the radiator?

No you pull it from the top and is the first thing you have to remove to get to the radiator.

Don’t drain the coolant system.

Thanks alot. I did see a video on a 2015 that looked similar.
