Got a 96XJ that runs around 220 normally (which is normal) at around 100-115 degrees outside temp (arizona ) But went to the mountains this weekend Friday and Sunday and the engine temp was running 150-160 with 65-95 degrees outside temp. I have a 195 thermostat so my only guess is the outside temp is making it run colder or hotter. The temp did jump back up to 220 when I came out of the mountains and went back down when I went back up. Anyone have the same thing happen to them? I know the engine runs better at 220 but its not like I can make it run any hotter in the higher elevations. By the way, the 65 degree temps makes me wonder why the heck I live down here in the desert
Edit: By the way I got some awesome pics of me climbing a 85-90 degree wall (part of the bridge that goes over Salt River). I was as far as my hitch would let me which was pretty damn far. I felt like I was sitting in a rocket Got to get the pics developed and will post them as soon as I get them back. I wish I had my 33's on instead of the 30's that I use for long travels to save on gas.
