I have a 95 cherokee 2wd and it use to get hot. My theromstat went bad and i replaced it, but since then it gets warm. If i drive it for a while it gets a little hot.
I know it`s not stuck open because i put a non fail safe thermostat in it. My wife picked up a thermostat for $4 so i know it`s a cheap one.
Could it be a bad thermostat? I live in the north by idaho and it gets to cold for my wife with no heat and my mustang with 17`` tires takes the snow bad so i don`t drive it. Can some one help me figure this out?

 

Anything other than a 195* thermostat is too cold.

What is yours?

 

It'"s a 195* also autozone told me a few things like a air bubble, a valve on radioator hose or vacumm leak. It get sort hot when driving but when sitting there in idle it drops cool to warm. So is there a valve on the hose? also how to check the heater core?

 

If both heater hoses are hot you may have a blend door that is not working properly.

On a '95, air pockets tend to work their way out in a couple of cycles.

Does your temp gauge stay around the middle after full warm up?

Inadequate water pump flow could also be a cause of lower heat.

 

I don't have a temp gauge but a temp light. So you mean the heater hoses going into and out of fire wall by heater core? Also wheres the blend door and how much to fix?

 

Subscribed. I have a 99'. Same issue

 

Yeah, those hoses.

Blend door is inside the heater case. You really hope that is not the problem. Extremely difficult to get to, dash has to come out and A/C evacuated, then refilled.

 

95 yur heater core is probably just plugged up, garden hose fix that if your lucky
