Might not want to say that out loud too much...at least not in the bay area.
Smokey needs some V8 power.

It only overheated once and this was on its maiden voyage. It had a bad temperature sensor and the original AC condenser needed to be replaced.
The temp will rise on long uphill grades like most vehicles do. I will always be careful to watch my gauge while climbing long and/or steep grades.
I'm not saying it's never going to happen again. More tweaking could be needed in the future.

I haven't tested it out on some of the local steep grades in my area. One of them is called Montezuma grade, heading west out of Borrego Springs. It's a very steep grade leading out of the desert. The weather here can very hot.
5.3/6L80 Smile factor status?
Hi Carl,
Checking in to see how the 5.3 is performing? My 08 JKU is similar to yours (not light weight, 5.13's & 37's) and I'm on the fence for engines 5.3, 6.0 or 6.2:thinking: The 6L80 is a given as is the Motech/Turn Key conversion :rock:
I have several questions:crazyeyes::yup::
1.) Any further tuning issues?
2.) Any further overheating issues?
3.) Are you still on 5.13 gears?
4.) Typical and best MPG's?
5) Did you go with the Tap shift & cruise control?
6.) Do you have any pics of the completed exhaust system by the engine?
7.) What did Mel come up with for skid plate?
8.) Off roading on full passenger stuff and full driver side droop do you have any issues with the front drive shaft contacting the transmission housing or brackets?
9.) Any issues with the control arms contacting the engine mounts during articulation?
10.) Any advice or changes you would recommend for the rest of us after your experience?
Thank you for your time in making this thread and any other advice you may give :thumb:
Best regards,
Jon

Jon,
this is an incredibly old thread. Smokie is currently at the King of Hammers in remote pit two. Might want to send Moochie a PM with your question.

Moochie is out at KOH. He's posted a couple times, but not sure he's checking all the threads. Just an FYI.
Edit: Darn you Will and your two hand typing...LOL.
