Im new to the forum so hopefully I am doing this correctly.
I recently overhauled my cooling system on my 2004 4.0 TJ with 140,000 miles. This includes all new parts: Mopar water pump, Stant 195 thermostat, all new gates hoses, ron davis Racing 2 row aluminum radiator, stant 18lb radiator cap, Murray fan clutch, prestone flush, and thermocure flush (flushes drained from engine block drain with heater core flushed each time also). Coolant level has been checked multiple times at rad cap after properly filling and is always right up to the cap when cool. My radiator is not blocked as I also just had my A/C overhauled with a new condenser.
My jeep runs cool (205F) at 60mph+ Even with it being 110F outside. My “overheating” issue only happens at idle and slow speeds where my temp gauge will get to 220-230 and the engine starts running rough. Any suggestions on what could be causing it to idle hot? Thank you!
