What are the most popular and most effective ways of keeping our Cherokees cool under the hood? I know of hood vents and cowl intake... What else?

you can make the bypass hole bigger in your water pump.... just make sure you dont put burrs on the gasket surface, and then match the block to the pump.

Do some reasearch, tey have those overflow bottles that are not those cheap ****ty plastic ones, those are made outta dimond plate and they for some reason let u run cooler and wont blow the cap seals and all that good stuff. If you are in the vancouver washington area hit up macs raditors they are about 150 bucks and work wonders.
