I would like the relocation brackets if you still have them?

 

Which thermostat temp are you running? I'm still going over 210 on my short 5-6 mile ride to work. I'm currently running 180* but may switch to 195 later. I definatly don't want overheating issues with summer coming up.

 

160 now

 

Not a good idea to run a 160 t stat. The coolant can't stay in the radiator long enough to cool down with that. I wouldn't recommend anything other than a 195 in any vehicle. Just my .02 with over 15 years as a tech.

 

I know this is a little late in the thread. I have been having the same issue with over heating. I replaced everything incliding radiator to water pump. Hood louvers help. I rebiult the head and found i had a pretty good exhuast leak and a blown head gasket. When everything is back together I will keep you all posted if the overheating issue goes away. Heres the part of my thead installing my louvers.

Well desided to start a new project. The jeep has been over heating so I bought a new radiator. Also desided to put hood louvers in. I made my own because I couldn't find any I liked.Here are a few pictures of the prosses.
The hood before I began.



After finding the center points and drilling the holes.




I was thinking about putting the vents on top and trying to figure out what color I liked.


Took a 1.5 inch hole saw to cut the corners. Wanted them to look clean instead of sharp edges.



The hood after I cut the hole. Just used a metel cutting wheel on my grinder for this.



A look a the vents and the size.



And the aftermath. I desided to go with yellow.




Desided to paint the sliders to match.



The hole thing cost me about $40.00 with stainless steel bolts in the hood, paint metal and molding.

Hope this helps out.

 

Yep. I still have it all.

 

I'm beginning to think IV got a bad head gasket. Because I have an entire brand new system as of about a month ago and I'm still running over 210. If I got about 10 miles in the city I reach about 230-240. I do have a bad exhaust leak also I just have not physically seen it. How long would you say it took you to break it down and do the head gasket and put it all back together.

 

My rig has been down for about a week now. If you had the head milled and cleaned up probly about 2 days total. the biuld itself is not hard. I put the top end back together in about 3 hrs. I ran into problems with the PaceSetter intake/ exhaust shims. They are sending me new ones.
If you deside to go that route, Let me know and I'll see if my guy can cut you a deal on a cash basis kinda deal on your head and parts.
