hey guys does any one have any tips on how to make my XJ run a little cooler...I have a cold air intake and replaced the clutch fan last summer...any tips to help me run cooler on the sand this summer.

 

Some people say installing hood vents help bring down their engine temp.

 

rewire your electric fan so you can turn it on manually. turn ir on right away, its kept mine from over heating on the trails since i did it.

 

Run a higher water to coolant ratio. 70% water to 30% coolant will help, and add some water wetter too. Water will absorb heat faster than coolant.

 

I was getting pretty friggin hot, on the trails.
...So, I put hood spacers between my hood & hinges....havent had an overheating problem since.
You can really feel the heat POURING out from under there. One of the best Mods Ive done for the summer, thus far.
Another great thing about these is, when winter comes....If you have a winter....You can take these out, without any permanent consequences done to the hood.

 

2xs. I went wheeling for about 11 hours on saturday and never had a problem with my fan wired to a switch.Best mod I've done.

 

I think there is a write up on how to do this, and also how to install hood vents. Between the aforementioned mods, you should be good to go.

 

This worked reaqlly well for me. https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/ho...ion-how-41967/ I noticed a 10 - 15 degree differents

 

Cowl induction hood? would that be effective?

 

amazingly mine runs really cool and it only has a clutch fan (no cowling on it)

oh and does anyone else find the irony of THEHEAT trying to keep his jeep cool

 

How did you guys do this.

I havent spent much time seeing the wiring but saw two wires coming out from it. Not real good with electrical. any tips would help on hoe you guys did it.
Thanks.

 

apparently on the renix cooling system it works great. I have no problems with over heating anymore on the trails.

I think im going to add hood vents....any suggestions on specific type?

 

I used to have a mustang that ran a little hot. I would run a product called water wetter you add it to the coolant and i helps keep temps down about 10*. Always worked for me.
