Wheeling a fullsize
#891
I thought about it, but the amount needed would not gain the needed angle. So I talked to High Angle Driveline for a true high angle 1350 CV.
Today was a surprise. Went to lunch and to talk with a shop for ideas on a clunk I've been having in the rear. I park it and look from inside and see....wtf is the running puddle on driver's side? ^smiley6
The original radiator finally let go on the side. Great timing.

I don't know what High Angle Driveline quoted you but when I got my drivelines made they were $500 each. Yep I have a $1,000 in drive shafts under my Jeep. Those 1350 CV joint shafts ain't cheap.

Yeah well the new radiator got a workout Friday on the way to the Rubicon for Saturday.
Fully loaded and 9% grade.
Took it like a champ!!
Oh yeah, Ham Bone b/c you always ask, I broke the shiz out of the sector shaft!! lol
It was related to the Bear Hit and/or the need to be dragged a few times with a strap. I got slammed a couple times with bad angles.
I used the HAM radio and had a new box delivered in ~4hrs. Swapped out and was off trail by 7pm and back to camp for a late dinner.
While waiting, the Wheelers for the Wounded of NV stopped to give me crap, some beverage, and an opportunity to thank the bad azz service wo/men. Korean Vet and WW2 Vet were quite special.
Drove home fine with a reman box from NAPA. lol

No joke. No temp light no blow up no smoke. It was a short duration, maybe 10 min or so. Cooled back down after the top. I wasn't pushing it. Held about 30 mph or so.

I'm still on stock heads...165K and going. Both of you could better qualify your concerns (e.g., grade %, time, etc.) Otherwise just conjecture and perception. I'm certainly not advocating someone run for a long time at the temp. I'm only sharing what, from my setup, what was running.
New OEM radiator replaced and cap less than a week ago. Used 50/50 premix coolant. Dual TCP efans. My radiator has the tranny line cooler too. Tstat is the stock rating of 195F.
Last month on that grade I was not loaded as much and the max temp reached was ~220F.
