This is what mine does randomly and its a bad/dirty Nuetral safety switch.. just turn the key and shift into nuetral and crank it, and if it doesnt start then shift into park and try it again .. repeat the process until it starts.

OH, I almost forgot! The upper radiator hose still gets really hard!! But its not as hot as it used to get.

Well I'm back as promised. So I replaced the cylinder head, head gasket, and exhaust manifold. The head gasket fell apart when the head came off, and the exhaust manifold was slightly cracked near the flange. I have been driving the Jeep since yesterday and it runs COOL now doesnt even hint...

Just wanted to give an update: Tomorrow I'm replacing head gasket, and the cylinder head with a reman, and also putting on a new exhaust manifold.. I'll let y'all know what happens.

I wouldn't care if it hung out at 210, the problem is that it likes to have an affair with the 230

the radiator is brand New.

Well I guess my exhaust manifold is getting a good welding. Ill let you know the outcome. Thanks!! to the guy that found out his problems were caused by this can you tellme the symptoms you experienced as far as overheating?

My fan clutch is just as you described when hot, but spins very freely when cold. Please explain how the tension matters if the engines cold?

Not an OEM water pump, but the one I replaced was in perfect condition, only replaced it because i had the suspicion it might be the wrong rotation. Both pumps yield the same problems. Peak temp of thermostat housing is always what the gauge reads + (5-10) Have not done an ohms resistance...

Well the concerning issue is the VERY HARD radiator hose... i don't want to mask symptoms.

Well when I did the thermo and WP It looked rather clean in there... could this really cause my problem? What do you suggest I do?

The problem was the reason I started replacing parts ..

I've tried without thermo, and 3 different ones and all these yeild the same results.

Stant Rad Cap, and the thermostat is in correctly lol.

The bottom hose has a very hard spring in it, and is in good condition.
