So I got the new radiator in wednesday got it installed thursday took Jeep out for an all day spin on friday never shut it off all day everytime I stopped somewheres I just let it sit and idle not one hicup well except for the temp gauge the new sensor I installed is junk it reads WAAAY too high seems to be a problem with aftermarket crap.
