I've had the XJ for 10 years. I've had overheating problems for 10 years. I've spent thousands, yes, thousands of dollars on the issue.
Was fixed with a CSF 3 row and higher flow fans. Capacity issue.
Can't leave enough alone, I now have a stroker from a buddy's XJ. I now have overheating problems again (assuming it's due to the larger displacement).
It'll overheat on the interstate as well. (this is new). I even swapped in his CSF that he had no problems with overheating. Only difference is I have an a/c condenser and he didn't. I'm not ready to give up the a/c.
Thinking about 2 options.
1) Cheap route.
With all the frame bracing I've done, I no longer need the front cross member that the radiator sits on. I can cut this out. Find some larger radiator and Frankenstein that in. Downsides is the time to do this (it's wheeling season) and I'll have to come up with bash protection.
2) Not cheap route.
Griffin.
I've had so many different radiators, I'm tired of effing with it. I've had aluminum 1-1/2" wide that did no better. Multiple 2 and 3 rows.
Idears?
