Up till now the LX has "seemed" to be fine in the engine cooling department. On the way out to Moab draggin the popup the temps climbed to a max of 215 degrees. On the way back though on Vail Pass and Eisenhower with the longer and steeper haul the truck got up to 225 degrees (1st gear, 25ish mph, 4000 rpm).
I posted up a question on MUD about the max engine temp (MUD Link) and Cary has been providing some info.
I've read this before but apparently on start up the fan should "roar" for awhile and then quiet down. Well, I don't know if I have a roar or not. Can any of our experienced 80 series owners give me a hint for what I should be listening for? Or maybe at the next meeting or before I could meet up with someone close to compare our start up roars
Both my LX and FZJ80 sound about the same on startup so either mine are fine or both have issues
As always, TIA for the help!
