Ran about 15-20 degrees cooler on my 25 mile test drive down the highway. I live around a lot of steep hills so I'm just trying to keep it cool.

Today I put in connectors for my speaker wires for when I go doorless!

I changed out the water pump pulley because it was cracking and it was bent... It's a long story haha. In the process I also changed the serpentine belt.

I scored a 97+ fan for free, so I yanked out my old fan and put this one in! It has a lot more air, flow, and its quieter!

And I bypassed the fuel pump ballast resistor. Now my jeep doesn't randomly die haha.

Productive day! Now I think I'll sit back and procrastinate cleaning the house haha

Got my motor all torn down. The owner took amazing care of it. The cylinder walls look great and all the bearings are in really nice shape. Hard to believe it had 170k on it.

On the fuel pump resistor, did you just connect the two wires together? I want to do this also, its pointless to be on there
