My BII seems to have always run on the hot side. Does it especially climbing trails and in high altitude. Also pretty regularly during the summer driving long distances or around town. I replaced the radiator a few years ago but it never really fixed the issue. It has the flex-a-lite electric fan setup for the Bronco II/Rangers and I also added a pusher fan on the front which helped some but the temps will still climb up to 220 if I am not careful. Which sucks to have to pull over almost after ever run. It acted the same with the manual fan clutch setup as well, even replaced the fan clutch before I went to the electric setup. What do you all think is the issue? Would a 2 row 4.0 Ranger radiator fix the problem? I was thinking about replacing everything, get a 4.0 2 Row Radiator, new Water Pump, new Heater Core, and new 180 degree Thermostat. On the 4.0 Radiator, would I get a 1990 Ranger 4.0 Radiator for Automatic with A/C? Thanks for any help, thoughts, or recommendations.
