I would suggest to anyone that goes off roading
(and I hope that is everyone)
to use compressed air and blow the radiator out.
Do this from the engine side of the radiator. I do this about
once a month and you would be suprised at how much dirt comes out.

I live in KC too and have no issues with overheating. Drove to Florida and back earlier in July with no issue. Go to another dealer. JM has poor customer service......Ask me how I know

I did exactly that this spring after a winter or road dirt and god-knows-what. Up in the north they don't use sand, they use total DIRT on the roads...amazing how much crap gets in there.

Once I did that, no problems. Gauges are glued on the spot.
