Do we really need another one of these threads? I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a survey of whose thermostats are stuck open or what.

Mine runs around 95 degrees Celsius.

Yep. Before that we called it "That Commie Nonsense that No Real 'Merican Would Use".

No, the OP is trying to prove a point.

How come since you are in Ontario you don't use English measurements?

I figured it was some kind of contest with djb383.

The United States is the only country on the planet that hasn't standardized on metric units. I'm just here to **** people off

Hell I hope they don't decide to change now, I'm way too old to learn it all new again.

My temp gauge shows 180-190 about all the time.

I've lived in hawt-as-phuc Phoenix Arizona for over phorty years and understanding how the cooling system of a car works is hella important lest our heads pop off of our blocks and onto the pavement in the middle of July.

50'c doesn't sound half as threatening as 122'f does.

I am a bit concerned about how well this Jeep will handle the heat come summer. There are a lot of XJs on the road here so I imagine it should be OK.
