Running temp
 
Hey everyone my jeep seems to be ruining at a high temp im not sure what the normal running temp is but it runs a little over than 210 which seems kinda high but it is also consuming alot of anitfeeeze to where im filling it up every month, I was concered becuase I have been doing a little research where ppl are saying that the head will actually crack. So any info or past experiences will be very appreciated.

You might want to replace the thermostat. Mine was running over 210 and I noticed a coolant leak. So I replaced a leaky hose, thermostat and the water pump because it was leaking. Now it runs around 195, only gets past 210 when there's no air coming into the engine.

Locate the leak, fix the leak. There is a chance it is the head.

Ill do the thermostat this weekend and see if that helps and probaly hoses they look like they need replacing they are kinda swelled but I'm going to hope and pray that its not the head :/ but thanks for the input

I've learned in the past....if you replace one hose, replace them all, upper, lower radiator, and the 2 heater lines....i typically keep extra heater line in the garage because its cheap enough

Mine was getting a little warm, I removed the shroud and the radator had a good bit of mud in it, (my bad!:hammer:) cleaned it and runs normal now.
