stock radiator?
i believe the stock radiator on my 89(no a/c, no aux fan) was single core and could not keep up with cooling the engine during the summer at idle. replaced radiator, never a problem since.
sorry, but the stock set up was not up to the challenge on MY 89. only change i made back in the early 90's was the radiator
Some XJs were 2-core stock.
Mine is a single-core, came from the factory that way--I have only had one overheat issue when the fan clutch started to fail in the Jack-in-the-Box drive through. New fan clutch--admittedly a ZJ HD fan clutch--and it still works fine. Gets flushed with the 500 mile Prestone flush every two years, keeps things running pretty good.
