Hm....what's the ambient temp?

I've noticed my 88 XJ with new HD fan clutch, new radiator and all hoses and water pump does the same thing when ambient temp is 45* or less. I stay at about 160-170.

The storm knocked our power out all day, so I took that chance to install my 784 fuel injectors, flashed the pmc so it can relearn.

Figured out that after having the head reworked, TB bored, new header, high flow cat, and muffler my gas millage has dropped from 15 mpg to 13.5 mpg. WTF!!!

I even reflashed the CPU. I have run 3 tanks with the new set up and the millage is consistent.

Replaced the lower shift boot, transmission shift boot and the oil seal at the bottom of the shifter assembly.. My stock pieces were beyond torn apart!

Nice! Make sure you torque to specs, or else you'll have crazy vibes.
