hi. i have a 94 xj 244 k on it automatic trans stock cooling system,
4.5 inch lift 31x10.5 tires 3.55 gears
here is my problem i live in colorado and i was towing my 600lbs trailer up the mountain trying to keep up with my buddie that has a 800hp cumins(i know it was dumb) and the temp on my cluster got above 210 way over, it was just about to touch the red a couple times. turning on the heat lowered the temp a lil maybe ten degres. then a small puff of blue smoke puffed out the back when the tranny kicked down wile i was doin about 55mph. then a big puff ,then a smoke trail. now it was not coolant comming from the tail pipe(head gasket)it was rite below the center of the bellhousing maybe a rearmain seal.... so i pulled off and let the truck cool down checked the oil level and it was a lil low(half a quart) so i topped off with lukas oil treatment started back on the road with my buddie pulling the trailer no leaks .... now heres where it gets weird! now i have a overheating prob but only at speeds over45 mph . anytime i stab the trottle the temp goes up and does not come down untill i slow down or till i turn the heat on.
what ive tryed
1.replace cooling clutch fan with 3 10inch hayden E-fans 2 primary and one wired to the stock e-fan for a\c...
2.drain and fill 50\50 mix
3.rad cap(got from jeep stock replacement.
4.cleaned a\c condensor with power washer to clear debris
5.kicked and screamed
6. asked all my friends
7.asked techs at jeep.(will figure out for cash that i dont have)
