Burped the cooling system and didn't see any oil or coolant leaks!

Stuck the 35s back on it... they look so good... I really want to keep them but I think I'll probably be happiest with 33s

Changed the fuel filter and took her on the road for the first time in almost a month! I'm half convinced that the P.O hadn't ever replaced the fuel filter, and I pulled off the factory one.

I bought it locally, but don't remember where. Picked it up the fall before last for my summer oil change, but was away from my Jeep all summer, so the summer oil change never happened until now. I think I actually got it at Walmart. Had been using T5 in the summer, but wanted to try this stuff out.

Default new e fan

old one never came on, measured open. i could not read 12v on the connector at anytime. put new fan in and it ran right now with air on/off.
the air coming thru was VERY HOT. it would burn my fingers. i think it should run all the time in hot weather?

nah, my e fan never comes on. The mech fan is enough to keep her below the e fan trip point.

Mine only kicks on when its 90 degrees or more out and idling for over 5 min. It only kicks on for about 30 seconds though.
