First off, I just recently picked up a 01 XJ 4.0 with 93k, very clean. This is my third one, I have had a 1989 and a 1999. It has some issues that I am chasing down but nothing crazy. What I am working on now is that it is not reaching operating temp. Typically it gets to about 165ish. I am in NY and it is cold but not that bad, in the 30's-40's. The heat was not really working that well so I flushed the heater core, bled the system and it definitely made a difference, especially at idle, while driving it is warmer then it was but not crazy warm by any means. A lot of rust came out when I did the flush. The thermostat was just changed twice and the water pump was recently replaced as well. I was thinking that the fan was just blowing all the time and the clutch was frozen so it could not get to temp. But I went to check it today after a drive and it just spun freely after I turned the jeep off, it does not stop. So I know that the clutch fan is bad, but can it spin all the time when the engine is running all the time if it is not frozen? Thanks in advance.
