I've replaced everything (and the radiator twice) in the last few years trying to track down why this jeep wants to run hot. It was giving me problems in the summer and going away in the winter but now on a 70 degree day, we put a scanner on it.
It hit 220 at idle and climbing, and dropped quickly below 210 when the RPMs were brought to 1400 or so. The mechanical fan has resistance, and will pull a shop rag up to the grill at idle.
I'm thinking try a new fan clutch - which is best? If that doesn't work then I'm looking for a high-flow waterpump.
