The 6.5 was never designed to be a powerhouse motor, or to be worked hard like a Cummins will. I have struggled to keep coolant temperatures under control in warmer weather, especially when running in mountains. Because of this reason, I think that I will be replacing the truck with something newer in the next few months, and keeping it around for daily driving use.
e-fans are on the list of things to do. I was planning on a dual speed fan from Lincoln Mark VIII with the 3.8L, it has worked flawlessly on my jeeps for years. Of course, new fuel injectors and glowplugs are on that list too.....It all takes money that I don't have at the moment.
Right now, the plan is to start with a factory airdam, added to the bottom of the factory airdam I already have. That should drop it down about 4-5 more inches.
