it's 150 lbs of skid plate, not 600! Needer needer needer!
Interestingly, I talked to my offroad/mechanic at length about all possible causes, especially discussing all that others here mentioned in Zadam's thread. The skids being #1 in my mind as possible cause. He says the radiator itself is the ONLY thing that disappates heat and the skids have nothing to do with it. Plus he pointed out I had the skids on for 1 1/2 yrs w/o any overheating issue...um, good point....
He went through several other of the possibilities and why or why not he thought it could be it.
Yes, we could have just flushed or rodded it out like Zadam did and see what happens, and that may have worked, but I wanted to actually increase my cooling ability so that I "might" actually be able to run with A/C on when off road in warm temps.....as heat is my #1 enemy and makes my body turn into a slug....well, um,..... a bigger slug than normal. Probably won't be able to do it all the time, depending on the speed I'm going on the trail, but I thought it was worth it....now Dave....well, maybe not so much....
