whats the stock thermostat?
Just wondering what the stock thermostat is. My jeep always runs at around 210. Like always when fully warm.

200-210 is where 95% of all 4.0 engines run. You are fine. It is designed to run warm.
As mentioned, the stock thermostat temperature is 195. But keep in mind that the thermostat does not control the MAX temperature.
So a 195 degree stat, and the coolant running 210 farenheit is just about right for the 4.0

Alright thanks. I was running in the dunes. Got to about 250... got out and it looked like a hose expanded (rad) and leaked then cooled and shrivled and the leak stopped... awkward...
