Does anyone with the ecodiesel have any data on how much it has reduced the under hood temps? A few Gladiators have had high coolant and oil temps when towing up a grade in 90 degrees. We are looking for ways to help reduce these temperatures.

I may be sort of a (stock) guinea pig. Although I don't tow and don't live in a mountainous area, I have a JLURD and will have a HERO Hood delivered Friday.
It hasn't been that hot here in NE OH, but I seem to run < 220F, for both highway and suburbia driving.
I'll update this thread after paint/installation.

I finally got my hood installed! Again, thank you @TOTL Innovations for making a diesel-specific hood! I love the look!
I haven't done much driving and it hasn't been that hot here in NE OH, but I do see a slight decrease in coolant temperature with this hood vs. the original stock hood. The ram air intake does work; I went down a very steep hill and watched the coolant temp fall. The vents really allow the hot air to escape.
Here are pics for attention--I had just come back from wheeling at Uwharrie, so I had residual mud left to clean:

What does everyone think of the two tone paint scheme?

A couple more shots of the two tone set up. All vents are fully functional for heat expulsion as well as the ram air opening up front funneling clean cool air to your factory air box.

Wow! I can't believe it's been a year!
I just got back from a weekend of wheeling at Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) in Coal Twp, PA.
Temps were in the 80s and dry--absolutely perfect weather for wheeling, IMHO. I monitored the coolant temps using the Offroad Pages. It didn't matter if I was slow crawling on technical sections of rock or goosing it on steep inclines--I never went above 220F.
Love this hood!

i never see the temps rise in the situations you describe here.
what i'd really like to know is where the temps are when you're moving at Western highway speeds (80+MPH) in temps over 90ºF for over an hour at altitude (over 5000').

This past summer I was traveling in the Badlands/western SD on I-90 between 75-80 MPH, near 5K in elevation, but not beyond that, ambient temp around 90F, running temps were between 215F - 220F.
The trip was about 8 hours and I had the AC on.
