Cooling your engine down with fans

This may sound like a stupid question, as I'm prone to ask sometimes. But...I drive a '96 Cherokee with the inline 4.0 non-interference engine and it doesn't like driving in the heat so much. Since I'm a car down right now I'm driving it a LOT more than I used to. After a lot of driving in this hot weather it starts slower, but still starts and runs ok.

So to help it out I've been raising the hood and putting 2 box fans right on top of the engine to help it cool. I hadn't thought about it but my Mom asked if cooling it down too quickly could be bad for the engine. And since I don't know I thought I'd ask here.

Any harm in using my method to cool an engine down much more quickly than normal?

Joining up to gather some information for a Polaris Sportsman 450.
Trying to decide if EPS is really necessary.

Looking to pull logs, plow snow and enjoy in the woods on some trails.

Look forward to learning and purchasing our first ATV.

Random complete loss of power!

2011 Polaris sportsman touring 850 EPS.

This has been happening off and on for the past couple of seasons, but I’m fed up now.

I was out bird hunting the other day. It’s must've happened at least half a dozen times. I’m driving along, and my bike just randomly loses all power, the engine shuts off dead. So I put it in park, turn the key back on, and It powers up and starts EVERY time.

Not once has this left me stuck, but it dies and comes to a dead stop often enough that I need to fix it now.

I’ve noticed it was happening on sudden up and/or down sections of the trail, conditions were wet and muddy. I’m not sure if that play a role.

I still have the original battery, it was tested recently and is apparently still good. I’ve recently changed the plugs as well. The issue was present prior to that.

Anyone have this happen?. Ideas?:eek

350 l 4×4 front axle 4wd ?

Going to jack up this weekend and check, but I’m wondering if the front axles should rotate in 2wd or only when the 4x4 switch is switched on? Currently they are rotating all the time, and I don’t notice significant torque change when I select 4x4...

2017 Sportsman 570 Suspension Upgrade Recommendation?

Hi there - I've been mostly riding railroad bed trails until a recent trip to Ride Royal Blue in TN... I loved the terrain and want to do more. My machine handled ever bit of the trails but I'd like to add some ground clearance to avoid some rocky boulders that occasionally scraped my undercarriage. What A arm kits and shocks/spring upgrades are suggested that won't throw off geometry, give me a few more inches of clearance, and allow for some larger tires? I'm riding fully stock right now. Thanks in advance!
