So I have been having issues with my 95 4.0 getting too warm. Lately we have had some extremely warm weather and the XJ has shown that it does not handle the heat well. This evening I took it out after replacing both coolant temp sender and sensor to make sure it wasn't them giving false readings and they showed it running right around 240 degrees on both highway and backroads. I have very warm air with heat on and set to high so that may rule out a blocked heater core. The system is less than a year, year and a half old and consists of:
- CSF 2-row radiator
- Triple Threat all electric fan setup
- New Cardone water pump
- Stant Premium 195 t-stat
- New upper and lower hoses
- New sensor and senders
The system had been working fine up until our 100+ degree days recently and all of a sudden has been going downhill. The motor gets up to operating temp within 5 miles of leaving the house, if that. Any suggestions on what to look for or test out? Thanks.
