Hot at low speeds
So my zj runs normal temperature typically all the time. It can be 105 outside and I'm doing my normal commute and it doesn't go over 205. Yesterday I was on the trail and it was 90 degrees outside and the jeep was pushing 250. Any ideas?

I can hear mine cycling when I'm a driving. But you can start the engine and let it worm up, the fan should start moving a lot of air after a while. Once you feel the air is flowing good and is warm, shut the engine down and watch the fan. It should stop pretty quickly. Don't go sticking your hand in the fan with the engine running.
