Hey guys , I searched this topic but didn't see much info. I bought a 2012 JKU last year and have been loving it. As the temps have warmed up I have really started noticing the IAT`s (I run a Traildash 2) and how high they run. On average the last few days on my commute home I have noticed terms range from about 40* above ambient while driving and up to 60* above in stop and go. Yesterday that meant ~160*. I'm sure that is leaving power on the table.
My coolant temp stays between 205 - 215. I guess that's somewhat normal?
So what I am wondering is, what can I do to significantly impact these temps, if anything? I do have a winch which does sit a little high (and I keep the cover on it), so it could be impacting air flow. I would prefer keeping that. I am running the stock air box with factory filter, replaced a few months ago with no dusty driving since.
So what temps are you guys seeing? Do any of you have real world examples of ways you have reduced temps? I am especially interested in examples of how snorkels may have impacted (hopefully reduced) these temps. How about hoods?
I look forward to your input. Thanks in advance!
