Fan temp at 210, recommend :)

[14JKALTITUDE]

after installing a new radiator and thermo, the cooling system is running perfect, temp will max out at 215 but i wanted the fans to come on earlier, this isn't 10 years ago and summers are getting hotter and hotter than what the world is used to so I used HP tuners and set the fan at 210. Would definitely recommend it at this. 2014 jku

And did you also put in a 210 degree thermostat?

What software did you use to change the fan temp setting? I thought it was fixed at 226.

Hi, see the post.

Thanks, I see that now. Passed right over that.

So you're running a 203 degree thermostat with the fans set to come on at 215 degrees instead of the OEM 226. What benefit do you see from doing this?

I would suspect having the fan come before 226 would help to keep the coolant at a lower temp. For our JK’s when it hoist 226 and the fan comes on it drops fairly quickly, so if the fan comes on at 215 I would suspect the temp drops just at about the same rate therefore keeping the coolant temp below 220 the vast majority of the time.
