Weird Overheating.....Sometimes

[tjkj2002]

Have you checked to see if the fan is kicking onto high speed?

I really wish I would have added the mechanical fan sooner. After adding it the A/C gets cooler quicker and the engine has never went over 204F. I like keeping things at a constant temp.

Not every '04 has a dual speed fan.

Ok so after the wife reminded me that I had the winch for a few weeks (3ish) and had no issues, took it to a shop who checked it and said the radiator is plugged in places, some ares very cool while others hot hot hot.....

I got a lifetime rad, just gotta change it out, will do thermastat and hoses as well even if they arnt that old....

Stay tuned....LOL

Yeah I'm going to add the HD cooling for out on the trails. Not that I was overheating but I would like it to run cooler when crawling along. Going to try and find a louver set I like to get some more flow through the engine bay.

Ok all done, replaced radiator with free lifetime one, changed all hoses, clamps and thermostat. Hit the mtn that caused all the greif and my needle is at the regular place it has been for 10 years or so, just below half.

Woo Hoo!

Still gonna do HD cooling......If I can get the parts.
