I live in Las Vegas. own a 97 lx450..it's been looked at a couple times. Appears to be no issues at this point. However, I have a feeling that as Temps climb I may have a hard time keeping her cool. it gets so f-ing hot here.
Generally, temp been running at 185*, but today was about 80* ambient temp oitside and I was waiting in line to pick up my kid with AC on full blast just to see what the temp would do over 20-30 minutes idling. Ended up climbing to 196*
I feel like once summer hits and it's over 105*, I could get up to the 220* limit easy. Yall let me know if that seems far fetched with a properly working cooling system..
anyway, what are some real WORKING mods I can do to keep temps down? I already am aware of the blue fan clutch mod, and plan to bypass my EGR asap..but what else? I've read that those radiator fans on Amazon don't work.. any input appreciated.
I want to be able to trust the vehicle out in the desert.
