2001 Jeep XJ, 3.5" lift w/ 31" tires, aftermarket aluminium radiator.
I have having problems with my Jeep not getting up to temperature. If I let it idle for awhile (30+ mins) it almost gets to 210, but then drops back down to between the second and third tick marks when I start to drive it, which obviously is running much to cool. The heater is suffering due to the engine not heating up, so my heat is mildly hot at best (but it is better at idle when the engine is almost to 210). I bought this XJ with a cracked head, and replaced it with a new TUPY head.
I have:
Replaced T-stat with a 205, which improved the running temperature only marginally
Replaced water pump, t stat housing, and radiator hoses
Triple checked coolant levels
Replaced head
Replaced fan clutch with a new one
