93 base model I6 HO AW4 231
been researching cooling upgrades and here's what I was looking at::

-spectre cold air induction-read that it was a little loud but works well

-champion 3 row radiator (if I can get my hands on one they always say out of stock)

-B&M AW4 super cooler

-cowl hood scoop mostly for looks

questions::
is all of that going to be overkill?
should I get a cooler for anything else?
will I be running too cool in the winter? normally 50f days and 30f nights in winter here (lowest). 100f during summer
and about an electric fan. pros and cons of a puller vs. pusher please. I'm interested in puller but which is better for a weekend warrior

 

after more google...
puller fan takes air from outside the vehicle and pulls it in?
and pusher pushes hot air from the engine outside?
I'm thinking I want a puller then right?

 

I've done alot of that my self and ill tell you non of it is to'much. These small things crank out the heat and that b&m tyranny cooler REALLY helps. Good choices

thanks Brwneon. lol
I was thinking rad and tranny cooler first
then intake and fan when I have more cash. good order?
do I have to get my fan at the same time as rad?

 

I would just to save your self some trouble but you don't have to do it right away. Are you having an cooling problems now?

And sorry ffor the typos I've been trying to get used to my tablet

I dont know for sure but it seems to be running fine. got it in january and it hasnt been that hot out yet so I cant say for sure
plus I have the stupid dummy cluster and I need to run a tach and some other guages
everyone says get the AW4 cooler for sure so thats the first one

but overheating is a pretty big concern of mine as I have had problems in the past...





I'll also be getting a fire extinguisher. or two

 

man you doin all this stuff at one time? or you just trying to learn every thing at once? gotta slow down or else you'll forget the important details, unless you have a huge database built up : )

 

I have all my part choices written down on my wishlist. duh
jealous? lol

 

Shoot, is this your old ride!??

 

yeah it used to be my avatar but people kept on asking about it and it got old

 

oh yeah and one last thing. puller or pusher fan?

 

No such thing as over kill for keeping your jeep cool

 

Puller/Pusher...they both do the same thing, move air through the radiator. The stock fans are both pullers, that is, they pull air from in front of the radiator through it into the engine compartment. A pusher fan does the same thing, just from the other side. They are mounted in front of the radiator and push air through it. Haven't seen this setup on a jeep, but it's popular for other vehicles depending on where you have room. In my experience there isn't much performance difference, assuming you have the fan properly shrouded.

Also, if you're looking at aftermarket fans, most of them (that I have seen, anyway) are reversible. Just flip the impeller.

 

isnt it a bad thing if I cant get it warm enough in the winter?
and what about a power steering cooler? for a durango steering box setup
how can I keep that nice and cool


so a pusher is mounted inbetween the grill and the radiator
and I wont have room to put one there with the transmission cooler already sitting there, correct?

 

something simple like this PS cooler. cant hurt at that price right?

so cowl intake, radiator, trans cooler, electric fan, power steering cooler

sounds like a pretty hefty list to me. any other MUST haves out there?
