If I had been running my A/C, my temps would have been around 194-198 in this same scenario. That is really good for my ambient temp. But, my quick disconnect sway bar bolt rubbed against my A/C line (the one on the FL side, low) and it eventually created a hole, causing the A/C to fail over time. I didn't notice this until right before the video. Good thing I have a spare truck (and a spare A/C line).

210 is pretty hot. I would definitely do these mods to bring that down. In the winter, you should be seeing 188-192 ish.

I have the same setup and my d2 is regeared on 35s with metal bumpers, armor, and winch. Under 60 mph my temps are in the 183-188 deg range. On the freeway at 75-80 mph I’m seeing 195-198 deg.

You just open the cap on the reservoir and rev the engine to 2500 rpm for a few seconds. Seems to work fine. I've had no problems with air in the system.

I want to try the quick disconnect front links. So far I haven't even disconnected my front at all but my rear was making lots of creaking so I completely removed the links and the bar and I go down the highway every day on HD Springs 2 inch lift and it handles great. I mean I can turn Corners in town just fine I think maybe the rear is less crucial than the front because the rear doesn't have the weight of the engine I don't know but all the guys on the Facebook disco 2 group trip out about stuff like that but I think it's just fine.

How did you seal those paper gaskets? The instructions say to put silicone on both sides but in the picture it only shows it on one side of the paper
@Bleachanna

Do not apply any silicone to any kind of gasket unless it's going over a seam.

None of them are particularly difficult. The only one that has been an issue is the new water pump is leaking because my gasket didn’t seat right.

what I see is that the gm fan wings are incorrect to flow the hot air from the radiator to the engine side to reduce the temperature check this point and if you want better results use the range rover p38 4.6 engine 99 to 2002 radiator fan and clutch 👌

The clutch and fan combo dropped the temp by about 5 degrees combined. It's working pretty well.

My truck came with this mod. Had headgaskets done and car still overheated. Replaced water pump and radiator (which needed it any way). Finally added a 180 deg thermostat. Still ran hot. Turns out my expansion tank return nozzle was blocked. Replaced with a new one and have been running 189 - 195 degrees under most conditions with AC. Like the aluminum expansion tank! 😉👍

Hey man looks like you're in Arizona also is that right? Anyway I love the color and I also have that exact inline thermostat and you're right it's amazing. I'm over here in Tucson and initially I put in the 170 degree element and it was great in the summer but now that it's a little cooler I had to go to the 180 because I was throwing a code for low temperature LOL made the fuel mileage way worse now I have it up in the 180s. So how did you do that body I totally love that color. Is that bed liner? I've been considering doing mine exactly like yours or with dark gray two-toned with black diamond plate
