I never had the issue before the new radiator was installed, so the major issue is vapor locking when making short trips such as stopping at an auto parts store.

Nope it does'nt get hot enough for it to go on while at high way speed or city speeds, but it does get hot when climbing hills when it gets warm out as well as when i shut the jeep off, louvers would fix the issue but I don't want to add something to fix im wondering if I can fix it by flushing the cooling system or something to that extent.
