awesome! It’s amazing how dirty they get! And then because of the way they are washing the jeep and spraying it from the front doesn’t get it all out. Makes a big difference if you like playing in mud! But thank for the support man!

Thanks for the support Brett! And yes, it really makes a big difference. I was surprised how much came out of mine considering I avoid mud. The bottom 1/3 of the radiator was nothing but dirt and mud. Needless to say the radiator has so much more air flow now and runs a whole mess cooler.

Exactly! And yes, they definitely improved the system. But at the same time they still rub VERY hot for emissions. The “halfway” mark on the JL is still up to 225°. Crazy how hot these engines run these days. Mine was up over 230 and sometimes as hot as 237 at times. Not an emergency…but I wasn’t comfortable watching it. Crazy.

I tried installing a cooler thermostat in my 04 rubicon and it threw a check engine light for not being up to operating temperature. I think pre 03 you can get away with a cooler thermostat to help the 4.0s run a little cooler. Once they went distributor-less ignition a lot changed.

Yea. They also had a mechanical fan. That’s the big thing. That fan was on if the engine was on. So when they went to an electric fan….it still allows the engine to come up to temp. The older style mechanical fans were the engines that would run cooler with lower thermostats. Old enough and they didn’t get check engine lights for that stuff. I actually have a lower thermostat in my jk. It needed a new one so I figured why not. The factory opens at 203° mine opens at 180° and it makes no difference. Damn computers..lol

@@nickburns5571yes! You are right! I definitely wasn’t thinking clearly as I have worked on them and removed them…what a PITA. Either way though, they have a much less sensitive electronics system. The electric fan in the jeep is a resistor fan. So still some major differences if the jk 3.6 vs. a tj. You really can’t compare them to the way they operate. It’s crazy to me that the jk 3.6 fan doesn’t even get to its highest speed until 230°. I feel like they should never even reach that to begin with…let along go above that as the fake tries to cool it down. Wild.

My understanding is that the 3.6 cooling system is made to run hotter than the old style systems. 225 here is ok. This is why it's so important to run the correct coolant.

@WarPaintOffroad

Жыл бұрын

Exactly. I mention that in the video. Definitely designed to run hot. But that extra heat also shortens the life of other components. So keeping as cool as possible just makes everything happier. Jeep doesn’t care if things fail prematurely because they are out of warranty at that point.

Just wanted to share a thought with you as you also seem concerned about temps I ordered a mishimoto electric fan controller with the ability to control and adjust at what temp the fan kicks on I’m going to try setting at at 195 and pairing it with a mishimoto 180 thermostat this paired with a complete coolant system flush new coolant hood and inner fender vents and hood vent I think I can keep it sub 210F at all times

Hey Cody! Thanks for the support! I didn’t know that mishimoto makes one of those! What year is your jeep? And do you have any check engine lights? My only though about this is that the Jeep’s computer will realize the fan is coming on differently than the computer would tell it to and might cause check engine lights.

Hey there! So I am just using a Dorman thermostat for the Jeep jk 3.6. You can get it at any local parts store or the internet. But I would normally use the Mopar one. However I couldn’t get it in time…typically the Mopar one is a little more expensive but it lasts longer in my experience.

Needs to be a solution to control the fan and when that turns on

There is one. But it’s super expensive. With the winch mounted low enough…it won’t get as hot. Especially when the radiator is clean.
