SUMMIT CRUISERS
SILVER Star
Well, after several weeks of 100+ degree days and a few instances the wife complaining of the truck sputtering, I installed some 95 Grand Prix GTP hood vents. Here's where I got the idea on the installation procedure: Jeep Hood Louvers
Got the vents off Ebay for 65.00. Install went very well. Vents followed the hood lines perfectly and didn't need to cut out any of the hood bracing. Cut out the drip pans to use as a template. Hood cut-outs measured approx. 4" x 12". Bare steel edges were primered with Dupont Variprime using a 1/2" paint brush. Vents are held to the hood with 1/4 fuel line hose cut 1/8" longer utilizing the drip pan screws with washers.
Engine bay temps have got to be lower and truck has been running great.
I'm hoping this as well as my previous cooling mods (blue fan clutch with 15K cst fluid and 12" pusher fan) keep things running longer and cooler.
