can running a 180 stat cause the jeep to overheat?

 

dont know in my 96 i usually took it out during the summer would still overheat sometimes in the woods.

 

in my experience it did cause me to over heat. I put in a 180 last summer and i almost over heated all the time.

 

oh and is that grill on your jeep a cover for a semi stack?

 

If you don't have any other problems with your cooling system, it shouldn't cause it to overheat. You should run the factory recommended temp.

 

The 180 degree t stat is actually low for your jeep, recomended is 192 . The computer will not go into closed loop untill it hits 180. So the answer is no. Check the rest of the system there is an issue somewhere.

 

It should cause it to run a little cool. If you are overheating with a stock 195 Tstat or cooler, you have other problems, plugged radiator, water pump issues, Engine problem.

 

no issues anymore im just curious. and yellow yes that is, it was bought that way and it works and its different so i figured why the eff not just keep it
