It doesn't put the radiator cap above the entire system (although you can route it to be close), and it doesn't in any way enhance or improve the cooling. If your plastic pressure bottle is split, this is an alternative to just replacing the bottle. Is it "the cure" for overheating? No.

I recommend a secondary electric fan if you don't already have one. It will make more difference than just about anything.

Lebaron hood vents should help. They helped mine are it is awesome to see all the heat rising out of them on the trail/stuck in traffic. They also give you a custom look. They look alot better on an xj than the vehicle they came off of that's for sure.
