Replacement Mesh (Flag) Grill and Engine Temperature

[melendez69]

Thanks buddy!

Yeah I think the end all for this is yes, it restricts maybe a c_nts hair of air flow but not to the point of blowing a motor up. Otherwise mesh grille inserts would be no where on the market to be found. Just my take and also did I mention I have 9k miles on mine and no increased temps?

Also, they are made that way to protect your radiator from rocks and such and are tested extensively before hitting the markets.

I've never seen a cent with hair. Not one red cent.

used house screen on several different Toyota trucks for more than 200,000 miles. Screen has been on my TigerRV/Ram 3500 diesel for 50,000 miles. Wrangler is the first vehicle I've ever had issue with.

Sounds like a fun experiment for sure.

Think you could possibly snag a video for us during operation of the change in engine temps?

Would be cool to see

This is actually groundbreaking news here.

So, to clarify, you’re saying that FCA Engineers have identified the JL grille as being borderline (almost too restrictive) for engine compartment temperatures during operation; that the JL 2.0T motor is on that line and that because of this FCA Engineers are going to use the JT grille going forward on the 2021 JL 2.0T/3.6/Diesel?

So, basically we should expect a massive recall very soon from FCA on all 2018 & 2019 JL Wranglers because right now all of us are driving around with engine compartments so hot right at that knifes edge that any little thing could result in a blown motor due to engine overheating.

Okay enough joking around lol



That’s it. Towing. Very simple. There is no conspiracy.

Relax, enjoy your Rig and mod away! A small, thin mesh grille insert will not harm anything.

That isn't how that works. The grill is fine for it's purpose. But more air is better, and the JT grill had not been engineered and designed when the JL components went into production. There will be no recall, that is just silly. The grill works fine, but they can make it better. All manufacturers do a mid model refresh about 2-3 year into production. This is no different. You took what I said and took it to a level of a master of misunderstanding.
