I have had my Cherokee for about 2 weeks now and it rides at about 215-220 degrees most of the time. Is it something I should be worried about? When I went to get a new oil cap the guy tried unscrewing the old one and said my engine was really hot and actually burnt himself. I can also feel the heat from my engine through the vents by the windshield. Is there anything I can do to fix it or cool it down quicker?

 

Overhaul the cooling system. You'll be glad you did. You shouldn't be running over 210. Is your electric fan constantly running while at 215-220?

 

Get an infrared thermometer and verify the temp before you start spending money. The dash gauges aren't always all that accurate.
