I had the same problem and it also started heating up at random times but never overheating. I am at about 3,000 feet elevation so not sure if that matters. I just put a 180 degree thermostat and now the jeep runs much cooler only heating up to 210 occasionally on the highway with ac on or every so often around town. Aux fan works fine and can hear it kick on and off also I can tell when the main fan clutch kicks in so that shouldn't be the problem. The temp always drops back down and I did a flush. Not sure why the engine heats up randomly but it never overheats and has all the power I need. Anyone have the same issues? Jeep has 190k on it and is all stock.
