    I had a Ron Davis racing radiator built and installed a few months ago. Got to give it a real test this week in Moab, temps in the high 80s, low 90s. I could run the A/C sometimes, as long as we were moving, but it would start to rise if we weren't moving for more than 5 mins. I'd shut off A/C and it really didn't make much difference, just went down a little. But it never officially hit the "H", and returned to normal when moving a little faster, even with A/C.

    Others were having same issue with increasing temps. I don't have a scan gauge, but others that did said it was reading temp up to 220, Dumke said his was hitting 250, all w/o A/C.

    Here's the thread on the aluminum radiator build:
