Ideal temperature for the 4.0?

Just to pile on - our rig has electric fans behind the radiator, small hood vents and a fresh oem cooling system. 210° is where our gauge is pegged in cool weather or hot weather, idling, cruising at highway speeds and also when we went rockcrawling on an 8/10 trail for 2-3hrs of 4low, locked wheeling.

Mine stays at 210* when doing the same and I just have a radiator.

No yeah, sorry, didn’t mean to make it sound like what the previous owners did was required. That’s just how ours showed up when we bought it.

Seems like it was built with mitigating temps in mind since both our trans and engine have electric fans added.

I was just joking with you. I rarely admit it. 🤫

Mopar = better quality. Duralast= China sweat shop employees. How is your Duralast radiator doing? I recently bought NGK sensors. Made in USA on one, Made in China and an NGK decal on the other. The made in China one had the wrong plug-in connector. :rolleyes: 🇺🇸

IDK, haven't had to replace an OEM radiator yet. In general, I'm of the belief that most everything is made in the same place by the same people. The biggest variation is in which country the "made in USA" sticker is actually placed on the box. Obviously this is a generalization.

I've had nothing but success with the parts I've bought from Autozone. Either I'm extraordinarily lucky, or the failure rate of parts store components has been wildly blown out of proportion by the internet, amplified by the fact that success stories don't make for good forum fodder. Maybe both sides of the argument are true.

But really I'm just making a joke at Jerry's expense.
