Ok so I've got a 98 4.0. 31's limited XJ. It's got a 180 tstat, new wp, new aluminum rad, new zj fan clutch, new heater core, new temp sensor, new flippin every thing. Swapped water pumps twice. Several diff thermostats. Two diff rads. Everything serviced, oil filters plugs. Runs great. All parts I got from napa. Several mixes of coolant. Now here is the issue. At cruising speed on the streets or freeway it's runs cool180-190 but when I'm crawling or sitting in traffic it goes up to 220-230 at which point it starts boiling over in to the overflow bottle. Should it boil over at such at low temp and why the 40 degree change in temp. just did the zj clutch and it is annoyingly loud but pulls a ton of air. I also did the electric fan mod. I can switch it on and it cools right down. The only issue I still have is the fan shroud is missing a piece about 5 inches long on the lower part where it sits on the rad, which I will be replacing this week. Any ideas what could be causing this and why would it boil over at about 225 degrees. Also I've never let it get too hot. I'm constanty watch the temp gauge and tired of it.
