Hey fellas,
My jeep is running hot from start up. Coolant and oil are at lvl. Air filter is clean.

I'm hoping it's not the Head Gasket. Any thoughts Guys?

Thanks
 
I'd start off with the easy things first. When was the last time you changed the oil?
 
Thermostat stuck? Air bubble in system?

Have you checked any of those? When was the last time you changed the thermostat? Is the upper hose hot at all?
 
X2 on more info, if the gauge is reading slightly to the right of 210 then you are most definetly ok, however if you are far to the right from the 210 center then you may have an air bubble etc. post a pic of what it looks like running hot on the gauge
 
A little more info than just its "hot" will help you get help.
Define running "hot".

What does the temp gauge say?
X4, what may seem to be too hot is often exactly how it should be. Tell us exactly what your temperature gauge is saying. 100c? 120c? 80c?
Again, what is your temperature gauge indicating? What temperature are you seeing that is making you believe your engine is running too hot?
What does the Temp gauge say? Can you post a pic of it while running
Apparently
