I am reposting part of a previous question I had ask because it is now down far enough I think I will not get a responce. My 1989 Jeep Cherokee temp is running around 155 to 165 both before and after a 195 degree thermostat swap. I burped the system well and it still runs at the 155/165. I replaced the sender with a pick and pull of the same year and model. From the previous posts I think I need to get it up higher because it may cause the ECU to continue in a warm-up mode messing other things up. Could I have a sticky gauge? Maybe the sender is faulty? How can I test the sender and or the gauge? If it is staying at 155/165 the themostat will not open, right? Is there a way to see if it is opening and circulating. If it is I would think this would tell me if the guage or sender it bad. I also was reading that the fan has a fluid clutch and bi-metel temp wire in it. Could this be faulty causing the fan to over cool the engine. Would it be a good idea to install a 210+ thermostat. I don't want to get it to high especially if something is faulty giving me bad readings. Any help would be kindly apprecated.
