I was wondering what temp on average a cherokee runs. It was over a 100f yesterday and goin down the highway the temp gauge was reading around the line past 210f. which im guessing is around 220f is this normal. Mods 35s, 6inch lift, 4.56 gears.

I wouldn't say normal, especially not going down the highway....

210 is "normal". My guess would be that your waterpump is going....or you could just be low on coolant...

I read a blown head gasket or warped head could cause it unlikely to me since it just stared doing it.

The temp guages are not the most accurate things. So yours sounds fairly normal to me if that's where it tends to run. If it starts climbing a bunch, then you have a problem

I run 35s, 4.56s. At 100F on the high way 210 is about normal, maybe a bit high. Currently has a full cooling system that is 1 year old.
