Okay I tried everything. I installed a new 195 t stat. Parked it on a lil hill with the nose of the car down and burp it from the temp. Sending unit. But it still is 100-110. It won't get any hotter then that. What els can I do?

 

Oh and I forgot I changed the water pump to. I bought the jeep like 8 months ago and it always was over cooling. Thanks

 

you can put some cardboard over the radiator that will get it wormer. just don't forget its there

 

use a temp gun and double check the temp, you might have a bad sending unit.

 

Are you joking or you series?

 

Do you know if this tool is chip or costly ? And do I put this in the hose or in the reserve tank?

 

He is serious. If it is very cold where you are then you can use a piece of cardboard to limit airflow to the radiator to up the temp but I would definately try a new sending unit first. There isn't any reason it should run that cold and if it is actually running warm and you block off air flow to the radiator it could overheat.

 

Infra-red point-n-shoot temperature gauge.....u point it at the t-stat housing to measure temp......don't see how coolant temp could actually be 100, even this time of year. Gauge, sending unit, elec connection got to be bad.

 

I live in SoCal

 

Im would bet on the sending unit, even without a Tstat it should be above 100° JMO

 

Without a t-stat, at the North Pole, it won't run 100F...check the gage, sending unit, electrical.

 

I ran no t-stat for a month when I first bought my 90' two door... that was a present from the po. I can't quite remember but I think it ran about 140 at idle. Warmed up to 160-170 under load. If memory serves me...

 

Agreed.

You MUST verify the temp. The infrared point and shoot thermometer is your friend here. Point it at the thermostat housing and you will know EXACTLY what temp your coolant is at.

Good data = Good decisions

 

Thanks guys, I'll check and see what's up with it?

 

ya for real did it for my dads expedition because the heater wasn't worming up.
