  1. I believe the problem is that at higher rpm’s, the chery 1100 doesn’t have enough water flow capability to dissipate the heat.
    Problem is not with the radiator or airflow, it’s related to the water passage sizes inside the engine.
    I can hammer at 55 for a while, but eventually have to slow down to 40mph and let the temp gauge come back down.
    No problems off-road though.

  2. I replaced my radiator that was leaking/cracked with a half size one that fits a 2000 Acura integra…pretty straightforward and it pretty much resolved my overheating at sustained height rpm’s on asphalt.
    If it gets hot on the street, run it below 3500 rpm for a bit.

  3. My 08 T4 is a great machine too.
    After my first mud hole in the thing, oh about 10 years ago, I added a splash shield under the hood so the back side of the dash would not get muddy.
    My stock switches and gauges still work…As well as axles/cv’s. I have a spare axle but never needed it so far in 7k miles of Tennessee rocks and mud.
    Had to beef up the rear trailing arms (I broke one off), replace the oil sender, and several rounds of SKF wheel bearings. Overall a great machine though.

  4. Honda Civic and others use 4x114.3 and I have a 15” civic set that I use with my BFG AT street tires that fit fine.
    Also have some 30x10x15 UTV tires on weld racing drag lites with the dual 4 lug pattern…guy I bought them from had them on a mustang, but the 4x114.3 holes fit my 2008 T4. I had to buy the shouldered lug nuts to fit those wheels, but the stock Honda wheels use the same lug nut seats as the factory trooper.
