Fans all wired, gave them a test run. Took forever to heat up at idle and I only got it to 190sh before I had to go to class but the fans stay on after the jeep is off. Wish they wouldn't put that in the directions! So I'm either going to wire it to a key on 12v or make q switch

Highest the temp got, then the fan cooled it off and it didn't go above 200ish... Oil psi is good at 30psi at idle... Taking the doors home this weekend to sand and primer them.

Also about the fans staying on, they stay on for less than a min from when I turn the key off so I'm not going to worry about it

Nice Jeep. I like all the camo interior

Also Congrats on making it to Ford AAA. I went to it last year and our school won first for TN and went to nationals. Didn't do too well at nationals... though considering we were the first team at our school to ever go to nationals, I think we did well.

This is only our 2nd year in a row. We kinda get cheated out cause 5or the 10 teams are tech high schools and the teachers worked or still work for ford so they have the factory ford laptop
