it all depends on the driver. stay on top of the matinace. and also the way you drive.

Are you running an aftermarket cooler? If not it could help some.

aftermarket cooler i thought about that my buddy has one on his jeep an hes been out with me almost everytime an still hasnt destroyed his where could i find these and for how much ?

 

[trailblazr81]

Look at summitracing and get the biggest that will fit. And get one thats like a mini radiator called the plate-type. I like the B&M.

If you have a small radiator on the right side in front of the a/c condenser you already have one.

i think trailbazer is talking about a bigger one alltogether i replaced my oem one already a few years ago after a tree i ran over popped a hole in one of the viens.... does this make the system bigger by adding more fluid (allowing more fluid cool down time ) or is it just a bigger surface area cooler??

 

[SunlitComet]

basically more surface area for heat exchanging and cooling capacity and adds a little more to total fluid amount.
