Did fine during the winters here in SoCal but I could not drive it up a grade during the summer without it hitting over 205-210 and even hotter when driving in the local mountains. Finally took it to a local 4x4 mechanic who had metal fab equipment and had a custom three row radiator made. Full metal shroud with the mechanical fan. Drove it the last few days here in the south when it has been 110 and the temp barely rose above 180 which is the thermostat I am using. Also have the auto trans cooler on a separate cooler since I don't have to worry about cold weather driving. Preeety happy with it right now.
