Could a radiator from a automatic trans jeep cause a over cooling issue when installed in a manual trans rig?

 

Doubt it. Thermostat might be stuck open.

 

Brand new thermostat yesterday. Today I removed the brand new mechanical fan, still will not warm up.

 

Is your gauge accurate? And where did you buy the thermostat?

 

Quick question... I got off the highway after a 30 minute drive and checked the coolant temp using my obd-II reader... Showed 214 (from what I've read, XJs run around 210...). Is this an ok way to check the temp or is there a more accurate method I can use?

 

also, how the hell am I supposed to swap these little fasteners out?

Not sure about the gauge but I do know is when the thermostat opens you can see th gauge drop a little. Mopar thermostat. It's now parked nose down hill in my steep driveway cooling off. When it is cold I'm going to swap temp senders just to be sure and to make surer there is no air trapped in the head.

 

You said you've changes the radiator cap and the t stat is a 195 one right

 

This is probably a stupid question.

Would heavy duty springs be really stiff? Would I be sacrificing a smooth ride?

They're priced the same as standard and you gain a little lift. A little lift is all I need.

 

You got the green cap on the rezzy?

 

They are stiffer, but shocks have a bigger impact on ride quality.

 

What size inlet/outlet should I need for a transmission cooler?
98 4.0 aw4

 

I need springs regardless. Maybe it won't look so dumpy with a new set of standards on it. Currently, the rear leaves are near flat with no load.

Thanks.

 

FYI, the stock springs on XJs are nearly flat. Replacements might be the same. My Jeep sat at exactly the height it was supposed to when my springs were flat. I'd advise you to look into that a little more before you buy new springs expecting much curve. I can't tell you much more about it myself.
