My jeep is a 97 TJ with a small block 350. I built a fan shroud for the primary radiator fan and have an auxiliary fan installed. This combination keeps my temp running between 190 and 210 when getting on it around mid-day when its 90+ out with my modified hood with a hood scoop.
After speaking with Mike at 4x4 Land he made comment that the hood scoop was a taboo and that my fellow jeepers would laugh at me (a theory I will test) but for the sake of argument I put a regular plain Jane hood back on it. Here's the problem now my temperatures are way off and early this morning I am pushing 220 with running the auxiliary fan and it's not even hot outside with a nice cool breeze and I only drove it to work.
Does anyone else have a v8 modified jeep and/or suggestions on how I can keep the jeep from overheating?
Thanks,
Jon
