  1. Just FYI, your T-case is gear driven and not chain... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I think the fan sits all the way against the radiator. I normally do turn the fan off whenon the highway, but the othe day when i went to Austin it got about 3/4 up the temp gauge and had to turn the fan back on. Besides the 3" body lift the front is all stock. There is nothing blocking the airflow. I think I might try to get an all copper 2-row radiator and see if that helps. For the most part (especially on the trail) the temp stays pretty good. Thanks for some of your tips.
  3. So do you think getting a 2-row radiator would be beneficial? I am running a dual fan from a 96 intrepid. It covers all but about an inch and a half at the top of the radiator. It runs a little above half when the AC is on and it is good and hot. I do not know what the the highest safe area is, being there is no actual temp readings. On the trail the at idle all day. the elec. fan works like a dream.
  4. It looks pretty clean. I always try to keep that cleaned out, especially after a little mud wheelin'.
  5. Thanks for the tips. I think if I continue to have issues, I will get the radiator drop kit and put the clutch fan back on. The radiator is only a few months old and I am running Water Wetter and water after recently flushing the system. and I still have my original fan and shroud (just in case i needed it). Thanks though.
  6. I did not know that a mechanical fan had greater pulling power. I thought is was teh other way around. The radiator is new and I flushed the system not to long ago. I was thinking of building a sheet metal shroud to atach the dual electric fan to. That might increas the pulling area. I think they might make a lowering kit for the radiator if none of this works. Thanks.
  7. My truck tends to run a little hotter when running at highway speeds with the AC on. I was wondering if a little more water capacity would help it run a little cooler. I am runnig a dual electric cooling fan because of the 3" body lift.
  8. I am looking for an after-market radiator with more cooling/water capacity. I can't seem to find anything other than OEM replacment. I live in Texas, and it is hot most of the year. I would like to find something with more than one row of cooling journals. Does anyone have any leads? Thanks. Chance
  9. Hey all. This is off subject of pathy related talk, but I can not seem to upload a picture from my computer to use for my avatar. It keeps giving me an error be message. I am not sure what the deal is. Any help would be apreciated.
  10. I just swaped out my 4.6's for some 5.14's in my 94 XC. So i have a perfectly good set of front 4.6's sitting in a box in my garage. I also have carrier out of an 88' and the lsd out of my 94 w/ 4.6 gears ( I used the open diff out hte 88 for my lock right). Let me know if you are interested and we can work somthing out. I live in San antonio TX. I will also have a complete front here in a few months when i get my SAS complete. It will be about a week befor I can get back to the net. I work offshore in the gulf.
  11. 3" calmini + 3" AC BL and 33" MTR's.
  12. I just did this exact swap about two weeks ago. I went to a junkyard and got an open diff (actually the whole axle, it was cheaper that way) out of an 88 model. I took the open diff carrier out of the 88 axle and put it in my 94 third member with out a problem. I even changed to 5.14 gears also for my 33" MTR's. It was my first time with a diff swap also. but like you said, you can read a manual. You will need a dial indicator to set the gear back lash. And also a bearing puller to swap the bearings on thecarrier. There is no need to spend the extra money on a detroit unless you are planning on running bigger than 35" tires. I could not beleive the difference the locker made. I was able to go up things that i used to have to have 4x4. Happy hunting.
  13. I just rolled over 230,000 miles the other day on my 94 xe 4x4. Runs awesome! I guess it is time for another T-belt.
  14. the dana is replacing the IFS. I am going to run that h233 untill it blowes up.
  15. I did and everything looked good. It also only needs to last for a few more months until I get a chance to do my SAS. I have a D44 out of 80's wagoneer on the way. thanks for the help.
