Hi

I have a 1989 4runner lifted with 31's. The past few times I've been mudding the radiator caches up with so much mud that it overheats the engine. I do have air conditioning, which puts the AC condenser right in front of the radiator, cover about 3/4s of it. Definitly in the way for cooling. I was wondering if anyone has heard of running longer lines for the AC condenser and relocating it somewhere further forward or anywhere else to help cool the radiator? I'm on the verge of ripping out the entire AC unit just to get it out of the way.

 

on one of my trucks, i ripped everything out, for a similar reason.

i was wondering if you could perhaps try to angle it differently? if you move the condenser, i would think that the radiator would then get plugged up...

here is an idea...at most parts stores you can buy "aftermarket" washer pumps. run a second pump and a switch inside the truck, and then have that new pump feed a set of sprayers mounted under the hood...when it starts to run hotter, spray it, and it may rinse some of that mud out.
