Hey guys,
I got a turbo 350 in my CJ5 that I only really drive out in glamis. It's got a full manual valve body and she runs around 180-190 until i start to really get on it and spin the tires and start sliding sideways through the dunes. Then she will jump up to about 210 and if I keep going it will go up to 220.
Is 210 too hot? I got the gauge sending unit drilled into the side of the pan. Is that a good place to be taking a reading of the fluid temp? If I put in a bigger pan that will add about 2 quarts of fluid how much will that drop my operating temp down if at all?
I guess my only other option is to add a cooler.
Thanks for the help.
