This is the latest configuration on the V8 Jeep with the Alloy radiator.

The other setup didn't fit the alloy radiator..

Ive been running my alluminium radiator for awhile now. Did a few trips through summer on beaches and towed a heavy boat on hot days. Only saw approx 100 degrees once when driving on soft sand for 7 km with a 20 knot tail wind.

Temps normally stay around 92. So far temp problems are a thing of the past :)

touch wood!

The temps here now are in the 40's and the V8 Jeep still does not have any overheating problems. I can't remember the last time the fans came on. The temps sit between 79 and 85. Not sure if it is the change to the LS1 or the alloy radiator but temp problems are a thing of the past.. Get an alloy radiator. Bonus is the trans cooler is on the correct side as well..

Just fitted these two vents before relocating to cairns. Very good value, dropped about 5 degrees and has never gone above about 103 since instalation. Even fully loaded up, including roof racks on drive to cairns in 35 plus degrees. Beenliegh to Port Douglas in 24 Hours! To top it of averaged 13.1 L/100 pushed hard. Can't wait to test the vents out on some low range work!

Hey Rodge did you manage to get around to the next installments on this topic? Cant seem to find them (not with Tapatalk topic search at least).

no, havent got that far yet,,,,too much crap going on

After many years (8 approx of my ownership) of running what I can only assume is the original radiator fitted to my car which makes it 16yrs old the old copper/plastic unit had to be changed as it was weeping around where the tanks seal against the core.
So I flushed it all, put in an aftermarket copper/brass unit, fitted a new 192*f thermostat replacing a genuine 195*f (god only knows how old that is as the engine was swapped last year) running a new waterpump and twin electrics it now runs way cooler then it ever did.
When stock or even with the new pump and twin electrics it would sit rock solid on around 95* all day every day, on the highway, in traffic, towing my camper trailer didn't matter, heavy 4wding was the only thing that would make any difference but now the temp is all over the place from just over 1/4 (around 70*) up to the normal 90's range according to the guage, it doesn't look like a lot on the guage but when it never used to move at all it is a little odd.
What I haven't tried yet is my camper on it since the xmas overheating debacle which inspired all these replacements....
