Fan works just fine....when a/c is on or when you disc the sensor it is like an airplane...............and temp sensor is brand new....
I did try to help the OP by giving him the link to 2 different radiators that fit the bill.......and since I have the same year and a very similar problem, so I was relaying what I did to try and help the OP......not asking for help for me......
Guess that's hijacking to you............so I'll sit back and watch then.............

It gets into the 230’s, most problems at idle. Only problems in our extreme Phoenix heat. When in the 90s or under it isn’t too bad.

Yes all of this has been replaced. The intent for this post wasn’t to try to solve my Jeep running hot, but to find the best radiator, something that can shed heat better.It gets into the 230’s, most problems at idle.

I read that Griffin radiator has epoxied ends so I think that price is just stupid.
Water wetting agents have had a lenghty history with enough evidence to back up why and when to use them. While it typically is not needed in common automotive applications I have used it and had qualitative benefits. An interesting side note, after adding the WW it seemed to act as a flushing agent as well.

Touche. I have no experience with the Griffins. I only know the name and know they're big bucks and highly praised by some. The Mishimoto's look way more better though. That black M, dang it looks fast. Originally Posted by EatonXJ

I think they make some good ones but that one just doesn't seem like it's worth it. Same thing with the Mishimotos the stock sized replacement one doesn't have the same good reviews like the performance one does. Oh and about the M I had the GF fooled that they put the M on mine because my name is Mike 🤣Originally Posted by XJlimitedx99

I'm not surprised at that. That's what a detergent does. It's a wetting agent.Originally Posted by Cummins93

Hmmmm. It would be interesting to see if a teaspoon of Dawn would have the same effect as an automotive water wetter.....
But now that we've thoroughly mangled this poor guy's thread, maybe we can get back to answering his question:
What radiator should he buy?

Word of Warning....check the warranty........on some brands, if it is not professionally installed, the warranty is void.
I returned one for that reason many years ago.,.,,,think it was a a champion.
