Hi I have a 2006 hummer with 69,900 miles and want to know how can I control that my vehicle temperature dont reach 3/4. Id live in Panama that in summer the temperatures are high, and when im stock in traffic or been stop, the temperature use to reach at 3/4, then the a/a begin to loose coldness. Any one knows how to control that....Im install an electric fan of 16" to the condenser but is useless.

I would suggest looking into two things, an external transmission cooler and an electric fan (pusher style) to work in conjunction with the OEM belt fan (puller style)

Check out how I fixed my cooling issues. Moved thermostat to top of engine and run a 180 degree stat. My post with pics is post 35

Hi from Belize, had the same issues so I put n different thermostat, coolest I could order, and flushed my radiator putting in ice radiator fluid. I now run a little over 1/2. So far cheap fix

Your brush guard and roof rack are blocking way too much air from coming into your motor!!! You should send them to me so I can keep the snow out of the motor and keep extra snow shovels in the rack!!!!

Install a transmission oil cooler and remove your shroud and clutch fan. And install a high CFM electric puller fan.

Easier said than done. Removing the trans cooler has little effect on ECT (engine coolant temps). Its actually the other way, ECT will be driving the trans temps up or down. Now when you mount the trans cooler externally, the trans temps are no longer driven by ECT and this lets trans temps to hover lower. Offcourse that also means it will take longer to heat it up.

As for the ECT, the radiator will get less airflow which is also hot air from the trans cooler, reducing radiator efficiency and cooling.

If the OP wants to have better cooling, the T-stat (if it was changed) is a reason. The oem stat was lower but sometime in 2009 GM decided to use a higher rated T-stat to improve emmisions (as a result higher needle amd ECT). I have an 06 and it runs the same temps as thr OP after my T-stat change.

Finally, the clutch fan pulls alot of air. You need serious efans to make up for it and thats $.
You are looking at 500+

I recommend a flush, make sure nothing is blocking the condenser, check T-stat and finally, invest in a proper 16" pusher fan. Something that pull big amps. CFM ratings are junk if they dont show what restrictions they are rated for.

You say it's 3/4, but never said what the temperature was. The actual temperature is more important. The temp gauges are not calibrated on the H3.

When I pulled my 06 H3 temps, 3/4 was 210* half was 190*

On the 09 alpha half was 225*

I just put a new radiator in my 06 and it's running a little cooler. 190 compared to 200 approx temps, but it's not hot here yet. I have stuff blocking air flow, winch & LED bar. Good luck with it.
