Gotcha, it doesn't appear to be running very idle from my logs and I don't have it running past stock boost despite the bigger turbo, but I'll check it again to see if it is the case. Thanks.

Yeah, from other people responding saying they're not experiencing issues, it leads me to believe what you just said, at least one of the two things being coolant leak or a warped head are the issue. So I'll be investigating that first, thanks for your input.

Got it, really appreciate your input.

Yeah this was something I wanted to try eventually. Have any recommendations for what I use to create the ducting?

Ok, someone else said the same thing. I'm going to be doing a test here shortly to see if this is the issue.

Haha, still here, you talk like a grizzled DSM veteran, it's funny, but really helpful. Yes, it did overheat in the past. What happened was the stock radiator cracked where the top opening connects to the upper radiator tube. I replaced it with the Megan Racing aluminum rad, thinking it was an...

I have the fan override which turns on both fans at the same time. You eluded to how your temp gauge would go to 3/4 but not quite overheat. Now that you mention it, I have this happen to me a lot! I'm gonna make a 1.3 cap one of my next additions. Thanks

This sounds like something that isn't too expensive to do and a good addition in general for getting air to the rad. Is there one fitted for DSM's that I can buy or did you have to custom fab?

Hmm, interesting. I may consider doing a new radiator. From the fact that a lot of you guys are saying there isn't anything wrong with running the FMIC temp-wise, I'm beginning to believe there is something else going on.

Yeah I don't have the crash bar either, so I am going to cut that black part off.

I'm definitely planning on cutting off the black part on the top of that bumper. I used Valvoline Zerex Asian Vehicle coolant in my system, if that is ok. When I replaced the thermostat, I didn't see any rust on that part of the system. It also has a new Gates Water Pump that's been on there for...

Ok, good to know not everyone is having this issue. Something else must be the case. I used Valvoline Zerex Asian Vehicle coolant in my radiator. Is that stuff okay? Also, I've only done mild tuning to the vehicle but it still has some work needed in that department. Could the tune affect temps...

Great, you got me nervous, I just did Gates Timing, PS, and Alternator belts about 1000 miles ago. Let's hope I'm not another victim. Are there people on here who've had success with Gates parts? Wondering what the failure rate is.

Hi everyone,The weather here in Idaho is beginning to warm up and with that, the temperatures of my coolant are rising as well. I've have some anxiety about my temps the last few years as I've had it overheat quite a few times when I was able to drive it. It has been in and out of phases of...

Ahh, ok good to know. Thank you.
