jeep possible overheating?
it was 95 in AZ yesterday and I was in my jeep just sitting for a while with the AC cranked and I felt my jeep do something while I was sitting there then I turned it off and turned it back on and it was running rough then I started to drive and it was rough for a little then stopped, think it overheated or what?

What's the condition of your cooling system? When's the last time you had a coolant flush? What did the temperature gauge read? Or what?

This is the perfect time to inspect and or replace your water pump and thermostat and think about doing a gauge cluster swap so you can get the gauges instead of having the dummy lights

Yup vapor lock, just experienced it today, engine running a solid 210. When sitting idling or just sitting with engine off. I had to open the hood for about 20 minutes to cool off and and it cleared right up.
