Stuck open t stat?
Is chilly out today, started my jeep to go to work, warmed up fine, on the way temp gauge went from middle 210° to 130° area my guess and just sat there.
Guessing the stat opened and didn't close, any other ideas on what it could be?

I buy my stats exclusively from Jeep. Never had a failure in 38 years. I find they have better temp control than other brands.
195 degree is the correct application for 98.981298542987561% of the 4.0 applications.
