Need some advice/help...
Alright, the Alabama heat has had its way with my Jeep. My temps are getting outrageous. I have been looking at the FF Dynamics radiator with triple threat fans. http://www.ffdynamics.com/jeepradextb1.html. What I wanna know is, does anyone have experience with these, have you used it on your personal vehicle. Any help would be appreciated.
On a side note, I'm also gonna run a larger B&M trans cooler and an engine oil cooler.

Need some additional info: What engine and trans?
I have a 93 V8 that is all stock, except I removed the rubber gasket between the rad and the hood.
100 degrees outside, AC blasting and stereo jamming....sitting still in traffic for 30 minutes, my gauge went to 220. It normally runs just below 210.
They have a very nice set up, but at $500.00 it should install itself!
If you cool the trans and the oil correctly, Im betting you can save a ton.
YMMV

My fan clutch is new, just installed a new from dealership water pump, and also the thermostat. It overheats in traffic and on the interstate. If I am driving through town at 55mph or less, it never gets hot. If I get in traffic or on the interstate and it creeps up past 220 I will roll the windows down and turn the vent on full blast. The temp will drop all the way to 190 within 2 min.
