ok got a cooling (not getting hot enough) problem. Temp gauge was reading 110 deg (or whatever the unmarked line is) max. So i thought it was my thermostat stuck open bc i was getting bad mpg. Bought a mopar replacement and got that installed tonight. Got the jeep idling in the garage for 20min and multiple revs to 3k/holding revs at 2k and still no change in the temp gauge. Still reads 110 max.
All the hoses, and valve cover were hot to the touch but still 110*. Didnt think to check hose temp while warming up to see if the new thermostat stayed closed or not. Also have not "properly" burped the system but i thought air would cause overheating. All i want is the jeep to work at operating temp so i can get more than 8mpg.... HELP!!
Also should mention that i dont have an e-fan hooked up currently and my temps used to get past 210* and work as it should.
