hi there
after the recall on my mn 2013 model manual, I noticed the temp was going up to 100 plus towing my boat and caravan up hill.and when driving on the freeway not towing ,the temps were 94 to 96, I fitted a bigger rad that also comes with a auto tran cooler built in and no change to the temp . I than change the the thermostat to a triton one and cut the shroud around the rad but left the top of it on to protect hands from hitting the blades , this than changed my temps to 82 to 86 max even when towing, and I was happy with that . with the rad the one that comes with the car is the best choice and I was also told buy natrad ,the bigger rad now sits in the shed , saves me buying one down the track,I was thinking that my car had the engine problem the car is 5 years old and has been a good car and has 50000 on the clock and most of this is towing my boat and van I also have a suzuki jimny for a runabout and off roading with two other tritons and it can tow tritons out of bogs.
