My Sportage used to be picky about cooling, it liked to overheat sometimes...

I switched to an electric fan and never looked back! We get 120 degree weather sometimes and my Sportage won't overheat no matter what I do!

It also helps to have a good radiator. This might sound strange but last time I replaced my radiator, I put in a copper radiator instead of the aluminum, because it was cheaper. Well folks, I swear the copper has done a better cooling job... and it was cheaper...

It makes sense I guess since copper is a better conductor than aluminum, you just gotta be careful it's not as rugged as aluminum (or something like that) and it's heavier for sure.
