Hi everyone, sometimes my 96XJ Sport runs a little hot while at idle/in traffic. I know that's fairly normal, and it never gets hot enough for me to be overly concerned about it. I'm planning to install some Napier hood vents at some point.
But for now, I'm wondering if replacing the thermostat will give me a little relief in the short term. Has anyone had experience with installing an alternate temperature thermostat (180F as opposed to the OEM 195F)? If so, would you recommend the swap?
Also, I can't seem to figure out who the OEM manufacturer is for the XJ thermostats. I've heard horror stories about some brands for these, and would prefer to get a Mopar thermostat if possible.
Thanks!
