Griffin Aluminum Radiator
Anybody running the Griffin Aluminum Radiator in their JK. Do lots of Cali desert runs in the summer and it gets pretty toasty. The 25% extra coolant capacity sounds pretty appealing.

In Minnesota we run a 50/50 mix coolant/distilled water.
To stay warm at -20F you need this mix.
You might drain say 25% off and add 25% more coolant if you are using a 50/50 mix. I don't know if heat or cold is harder on the coolant but i would suspect heat would break it down. Check and change your coolant if it's a worry.
The stuff is nasty poison and will kill you dog or cat so dispose of it.

Hehhhh heh. Well I better clarify again, I haven't spent any money nor am I planning on spending any money (fingers crossed) on this and am aware of other cooling options including a new thermo.....just like to look at ALL the options and review em, especially on new products that haven't swarmed the market yet.

I didn't get my JK until November, so I'll see aobut summer heat soon enough, but I don't know any other jeep owners that go wheeling in the summer here that have felt a need to replace the stock radiator because it was running hotter than they would like when wheeling.
