okay i got my winch new winch on, and the next day i get a heating problem, put in a new t-stat, then the old rad cap started leaking, so got a new one, then the water pump went out, and i fixed that. so now its not overheating anymore. but.....before the winch it would never get above 195 or 200. and now its running 200-210 all the time and even crept up to 215 for a little bit sunday when i was out wheelin. did anyone else's xj run hotter after installing a winch in front of the radiator? or do i still have some other cooling system problem? im thinking about raising the back of the hood about an inch, how much did this help anyone thats done it?
