Diesel cooling options and ideas

[MF Comics]

Now Im not sure if its been answered, but are there any Aftermarket Radiators and intercoolers for these magnificent beasts, or just charge pipes, hoses and heat extraction hoods?

I added amsoil coolant boost and it did nothing. I did just pour it in the resevoir.

I did a drain and flush before putting Engine Ice in. It's pre-mixed. It's got the ok for track use.

In my bikes and Nismo. I use Engine Ice coolant. It helping a lot with water temps on the track. Wonder how it would do in the JT?

Probably ruin the warranty knowing jeep

That's it.
Radiators and intercooler are going to be custom. There are 2 types of intercooler designs. Tube and fin. Bar and plate. Tube and fin is more efficient, and costs a lot more. A buddy just had one made. 4.5" thick, 28" long, 18" high. Cost him around $4,200.

I was very interested until I saw the price. Wtf

Bar and plate are about half the price and are more common.

I’m going to look into it some more. The ram Ecodiesel doesn’t over heat and has a much higher towing capacity. I’m assuming that is because the engine compartment is bigger and they had more room for cooling. Does anyone know the big difference between the two? Is it only a bigger radiator and fans or is there a separate oil cooler?

Radiator is much wider and there’s more open frontal area for wind into the radiator.

Okay so in theory, an upgraded radiator with better fans would do the job.

Those guys have a bad rep on some forums for having shitty products. They've been called Mishashittymoto.

No heat under the steering wheel that I could feel. The AC in our rig works very well. Lots of wind and hills from Nampa to Hood River today. Worst fuel mileage I have gotten, even on the flat or descent. Had to slow to just under 50mph a couple of times to control the oil temp. Highest temp today was 262. Wanted to take pictures but just too much wind and big diesels passing to risk it. Temps dropped immediately on the downhill, load reduction and/or shifting down when I could.

I was out of town yesterday, but running eastbound on I-84, I'm guessing you were bucking decent headwind. I know today (Sunday) you would be anyways.

Yes, it was a very nasty headwind. I was amazed that I was running in 7th and 6th on some slight downhills. 10-11 mpg. Still, it did very well considering what I’m asking it to do. I knew about the oil temp issues when I ordered it. If that could be resolved it would be a very good choice for someone who wanted to pull a trailer like ours, but still able to run basic trails. Everything is a compromise. My 2000 F250 4x4 that I ordered new was a great tow truck for my small toyhaulers. I didn’t care about the off road capability because I was carrying dirt bikes or a RZR. Got rid of the RZR and if I need my dirt bike (KTM 350 EXC) I haul it on the back of my trailer with a ramp set up plugged into a receiver hitch I built. Works great.
