Well sometimes you just need to ask someone when you can't figure it out...
1998 Jeep Cherokee noticed its was running around 215 around town and climbing to 225 on highway. For some reason once gauge has reached 225 it jumps right up to red and throws a check gauge light and high idle but then comes down when I slow the rig down or turn off ac for a bit.... with that being said it boiled over in me once so i know it gets toasty verified with thermometer.
Then I replaced thermostat, fan clutch, csf 3 row radiator, water pump... deleted a inline hot water exchanger on heater hose for hot water to eliminate a clog issue... burped system gave it a new stant radiator cap and results have not changed. Radiator hoses checked and not collapsing under pressure.
Still running about 215 around town and climbing to 220-225 on freeway.. on a steep grade it will climb a little more. No winch blocking radiator, spaced hood for airflow.
The rig has a newer coolant temp sensor... could this possibly be the issue? Thoughts on what else it could be?
