If that's what you want to do by all means it's your jeep. But that cause an over heat issue, by not regulating the flow out of the water pump the coolant will not have enough time in the radiator to cool off. The better thing to do would be to stick the thermostat in the open position so it would flow all the time but control the flow giving the coolant time to cool off before flowing out of the radiator.

I would say that's is true, but only when going on long up hill grades or big hills where it's pinned at 3500rpm. Otherwise my jeep can't be bothered and the radiator has plenty of time to cool it down at normal freeway speeds, around town, and all day rock crawling. perfectly fits my needs the only other downside is getting it up to operating temps during winter (not a big deal in CA).

It's just a thought. I did everything cherokeeforum and naxja told me to do, spent a bunch of time and money replacing every part. Still overheated all the time which is just my luck


and of course don't just go pulling t-stats thinking it'll solve your problem. take all the proper first steps (flush, fan shrouds, check clutch, make sure your sensor actually works, etc.)
