Default Hemi jk

Hello everybody, so I have a 2012 JKU with a 6.4 hemi installed by BOR. my 2 main issues are the sudden engine die out after hitting the dunes or coming down it just suddenly switches off and the 2nd issue is the heating. It overheats fast which kills the fun, so I would like some technical assistance if possible from you guys. Contacted BOR but it takes ages to hear from them.

Well my experience with them wasn't much fun.... Also the time difference is an issue, as I'm located outside the US . The build was done during my stay in the US.

Is your thermostat sticking?

Is the radiator clean?

Do you have the proper amount of antifreeze in the cooling system?

I hate to say it but typical for a hemi install....that's why many are pulling them and putting in a Chevy.
