okay so i had a custom winch bumper installed on the xj and when i was driving home doing about 80 mph, it runs almost in the red. but when im at idle or around town it's fine. I was forced to run the heat into the cab to keep the engine from overheating. Now i have my little electric fan wired to run all the time. I did take off the little splash guard for the new bumper. I dont want to have to upgrade radiator b/c it's a bit pricey and the one there is only a few years old. Its an 88 4.0 , so.... should i upgrade to some kind of better fans (i hear the HO electrical fans are better) or should i try to go cheap fix first with Hood Vents (and what makes the la baron ones the most popular application) or do i buck up and get a 3 core radiator? It only runs really hot when im reving high on the highway, but the rpm's are nothing out of the ordinary b/c it is geared properly. Sorry for the long thread, just trying to get opinions
