I've added a bunch of weight with all the skid plates you can put on an X. Now put in some gear in the back, load up the family and hit the Rocky Mtns. If I run the A/C under these conditions, the temp guage will rise most of the way when I'm climbing a hill at highway speed. I have to shut of the A/C to bring the temp. back down. Somebody told me to change the thermostat to a higher temp. This makes no sense to me. I think the OEM stat is 180 degrees. My local auto parts joint sells 170 or 180 degrees. Seems to me though that it wouldn't matter which one I ran, 10 degrees isn't going to matter under these conditions. The stat is going to be wide open at this point no matter which I ran. Right? BTW. I've always maintained my cooling system very well.

I think I need to add a scoop on the hood to draw in some more cooler air, or soemthing else?

Thanks
