Didn't do much to her todAy bout to check the alignment of my headlights they seem low. I am a bit happy though I finally saw a lifted xj by me before. Only person on here that it might be would be xjblue01. Only jeeps I've seen lifted were GC and wranglers

I was having the same issue. Big thx to wb Joe today. We dropped in a 180 thermostat, flushed the fluids and replaced the clutch fan. After hours of idle, stop and go traffic it never pass 210. Problem solved! I'd suggest starting there and seeing if it helps.

I also sealed the **** out of my airbox and snorkel because 2 weeks ago I managed to sniff in a little water. Close call.

Haha it's funny were talkin about temp, I let my girl drive my rig one time, she calls me up. "um your jeep is overheating." "really what is it at" "it says 210" I started dying laughing and told her jeep run hot like that it's normal

Hahaha. Priceless. At least you've got an observant lady. Better to watch and be wrong than not pay attention at all. Kudos to her. Mine ran so hot. Had a few check engine situations maxed out. I freaked because I've got a 2000 with the crap 0331 head that is known to crack at high temps. I'd love to always run 190 but ill take what I can get so long as it doesn't overheat.

There was someone on CF that rigged his electric fan to work by a switch and he would run it to cool down to 200 or we he wanted ran a 30a switch
