Finally!!! I cleaned my heater core, engine cooling ducts and radiator with rislone, but the result was the same as I had cleaned it several times before. No dirt came out. Finally I took a gamble and bought a new radiator for the third time and my problem was solved.

It is clear from this that not every brand's product is the same. Although the product descriptions are the same.

The brand of the last radiator I bought, “Nissens 609881”

Thanks to everyone who took care of my problem. :thumbup:

what mechanical gauge did you go with and where did you mount the sensor, i want to add an extra gauge to my 93

it will go up to 225 and stay there. I don't trust the factory temp gauge, mine is 10-20 degrees off, I installed a mechanical temp gauge. XJ's run hot, I think hood vents and a switched e-fan makes a difference, as long as your cooling system is working properly

I wanted something with a white face, I bought it at Oreillys. I mounted on the sloped part directly in front of the transfer case lever and put the sensor in the hose going to the heater core.

Do you mind sharing what fitting / adapter you used to mount the sensor in the heater core line? what size?

I do not remember if the fitting came with the gauge or I bought it separately. I put the fitting on the hose going to the heater core.
