I'm glad I was able to entertain you, now you get out there and polish the dealership stickers on your Jeep, champ.

I'm not saying that your modification was right or wrong, but much time has been expended by the engineers of Jeep with regard to cooling and venting of the engine bay. There is a reason why the engineers designed the different hoods and the effort you put in modification to this system seems to have landed you in a position you did not want to be in. Since you're not leaning toward placing it back as the engineers intended, maybe a snorkel system would help you out? It will definetly alter the airflow.

So, didn't have time to do anything last night, but no howl driving home with scoop taped off, and none this morning with it open, so it's a miniscule problem if it even is one. I'm still going to experiment with venting this week and let you guys know what I come up with. It's that or put the dealership stickers back on and move to Florida.

Never assume an engineer is smarter than a tampon. I would put faith and trust into the pioneer thinking men on this board long before I would a corporate engineer, and so should you.

Can' count the number of times I had to fix an engineer's screw up! Most can do math but have no common sense.

I was shattered after discovering the hood scoop is fake, compounding the hurt from learning *after* purchase that my '22 model cannot support a turbo.
It's been almost a year now and this reminds me that maybe eventually someone can find a way to push my money into undoing the visual deception of my otherwise capable/functional jeep. I still prefer not leaning into the hood scoop LED bling, enough shame on there already, no need to illluminate it.

It will still move cool ambient air through your engine compartment, so if you uncap it, it's not a total loss. ?

Get with the times, man! Everyone knows the engineers designed that different hood entirely for the insertion of Chinese made LEDs and to frustrate Mojave owners when they find out that new super cool accessory won't fit because of the cowl.

Just one opinion but the engineers who decided to put a second little battery underneath the fuse box lost a lot of my respect for planning. There is room for 2 batteries on top, one should assume that every 3 years there will be a replacement needed. With that they decided to burry one battery???? Not good planning. Maybe they are perfect in all other areas or maybe not.

Those same engineers put on a hood with a hood scoop, then blocked it off, They also engineered a "Desert Rated" prerunner with really expensive aftermarket shocks and stock suspension with 8 inches of wheel travel, lol. I'll take my chances.

At least the Ford designers in 1971 gave us a choice of functional scoops or blocked off fake scoops on the Mustangs. Now there are more functional scoops than were installed by the factory thanks to reproduction parts.
