My 08 H3 Alpha is running very hot.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has knowledge of a good shop in Phoenix that I could take my H3 to. Is overheating I can't sit at a red light without it getting to almost red. Once I get moving it helps a bit. Need to get al fluids changed also, hope to get it to a good shop soon. Thanks

Where you located in the valley of heat?
I could take a look at it. Possibly bad fan clutch as you say it starts to cool down when you start moving. My alpha runs at about the 3/4 mark in traffic in this heat. Have you ever cleaned out the area between the radiator and condenser . I do mine once a year at least and get lots of crud out each time. I also have a body lift and my fan shroud isn't the most efficient . I did replace my fan clutch after moving here and saw improvement . Can also help you with the fluid changes. Trans , transfer case, both differentials ,etc...

Steve, let me know if I can help. I can always drive up to your place and help hand you tools and go get us lunch. I've learned a lot from watching what you do and how you do what you do.

I can attest that Reloader has successfully swapped out fan clutches, among other things. And Bigunit is excellent at grabbing lunch.

My Alpha used to run pretty hot when I first bought it. I installed a Ford Metal Fan Blade out of a 96-98 Ford Explorer with the 5.0L V8, and I replaced the fan clutch with a new unit, swapped out the dexcool for a 50/50 mix of green coolant, and I installed a puller fan in front of the HVAC Condenser (uses PCM efan control). Now my temp gauge is dead center driving down the road at 75-80MPH, and at idle or in heavy traffic it sits maybe 3mm above half on the gauge.

You are not too far from my location . I am a mile directly east of Luke Airbase. If you are interested I have an opening Sat morning early to check out your over heating issues. When I say early I mean 6:00 am as it gets too cold later on around here. We can get your rig up on the hoist and take a good look at things.
What year is your Alpha, what color, adventure package?
