TJ Radiator
Need recommendations for a new radiator for my 2KTJ. I would like to upgrade
for a future HP increase. Any practical experiences shared are most welcome. Thanks -Allen |

Re: TJ Radiator
I would be concerned that a larger rad would cool the engine too much
and screw up engine temp sensor response and the decisions the engine computer would make base on temperature. Remember DC does not what you to use water wetter chemical in the antifreeze and that stuff will lower coolant temperature just like a larger rad. Maybe a different thermostat could compensate for the bigger rad? Remember the computers in charge and the newer engine run much hotter these days likely for smog control and efficiency. bushman wrote: > Need recommendations for a new radiator for my 2KTJ.

Re: TJ Radiator
The thermostat controls how cold the engine runs. It will stay closed
until it's rated temp is reached, then it allows flow. So no matter what radiator or even if you plumbed it right into a lake like a boat does, the engine will run at 195 F with a 195 t-stat in it.
