machoheadgames I really didn’t have an overheating issue when I first installed the A/C but I did notice a difference in the cold air output from when I was driving down the road and when I was stopped in traffic or sitting idle. I hooked up my A/C manifold set and the high side pressure would...

machoheadgames I AM using the original mechanical fan system. As I had mentioned on a couple posts that I had replaced the fan clutch (the part that links the five blade steel fan to the water pump hub) a couple of times thinking that the fan clutch had failed and the replacement was defective...

Yes when I installed it I took special care to make sure that it was blowing air through the condenser and not the grill. When the AC is on the condenser gets extremely hot especially when the temperature outside is hot and the humidity is very high. Like I mentioned I recall the condenser fan...

Yes to all the above 😉 Take a gander at the huge list of parts and labor that I have done to try and repair the issue. Flyer58 I have had a chance to try and “burp” the cooling system per your suggestion. I drove the front up on ramps and deflated the rear tires that placed the vehicle in a 16...

I will give that a try as I have not done that. Normally I fill the cooling system up with the engine cold then start the engine and let it run adding coolant and the level inside the radiator upper tank until the thermostat cycles several times and the coolant appears to be constantly...

No not pushing any coolant into the recovery tank. I have verified the temperature with my IR meter in the past and the temperature is definitely around ten degrees cooler than the gauge inside indicates. When it reaches around 240 degrees by the gauge the a/c starts to be much less cooler and...

Yes I thought that maybe they gave me the wrong one when I replaced the first one and discovered that it was correct when I removed it and compared it to the known correct one

My 89 YJ still overheating and I have invested thousands of dollars trying to address the issue over the last few years. Replaced the radiator with an all aluminum high performance radiator twice (2 different brands) Replaced thermostat at least 5 times with everything from 160 degree too 190...
