My 2000 XJ runs at about 210 give or take, only really going beyond that if i'm in stop/go traffic. is this about normal? What's YOUR jeep running at? I'd like to get mine below the 50% mark on the temp gauge. Considering a new 195 degree T-stat and a new radiator. cowl hood would be nice too.

 

Mine runs at 190 all the time. I have a upgraded thermostat so the hottest it has ever gotten was about 200 in traffic. Post 99's have overheating issues so I would keep an eye on it. the cooler they run the better.

 

Mine usually runs at 190

 

195-205 ish
'93 5.2 liter

had a '95 same engine, same temps.

this is of course assuming the gauges are right in the first place. we are talking about chrysler here...

 

mine sits at 210 all day, sometimes will float a lil over then it'll kick in and cool back to 210. then again my 4.0L was rebuilt and bored to a 4.2L..

 

Mine runs the same way, when i first bought the jeep though it ran a little cooler than this so ive been keeping my eye on it

 

My 87 4.0 xj runs about 150 all the time, my 98 5.9 zj stays at 180. This is the coolest running sealed system running xj I have owned my 88 xj would go past 210 in traffic all the time.

 

My 96 runs at 200 with the AC off:/ when im in town I have to turn the AC off cuz it'll get into the red in like 15 mins. But it is 100+ degrees down here and my jeeps got 240k on it

 

My xj runs about 190ish on the road and on the trail it will get up to 220-230ish

 

mine shut off on me to day due to heat

 

210... unless it's really hot and i turned the a/c on then it's around 210-220.

 

210 is where she runs all the time, it goes above that when wheelin real hard and not moving. 215 220 but no hotter!!

 

Pretty much same here, between 210 and 215 in traffic w/ AC on full and in california heat. open highway 210 even. 220 offroad/going up a steep grade.

 

mine always runs 210, until stoped or in traffic, then climbs up... and sometimes overheats =(

 

In the middle of a hot Oklahoma Summer (108 degrees) with the AC on high. I can easily get to the next mark pat halfway, kinda hot IMO.
