Recently picked up this '88, 4.0, auto 150K miles (closed system)
Have read so much about the overheating problems. I replaced the cracked coolant tank then had all the radiator and heater hoses changed, the whole system flushed and pressure tested. t-stat and water pump all checked out o.k.
What should the expected operation temp. be?
The jeep runs about a needle width to the right of 210 around town, dropping down to the left of 210 when moving. It does seem to drop down a bit quicker since the service.
What can I do to see if it is going to have a tendancy to overheat?
I would like to gain the confidence to rely on the jeep for around town DD and weekenders without being paranoid about the temp.
