You'll be fine with the clutch, it is very important to have one.part of me is tempted to by pass the clutch all together and jut have the fan spinning when the engine is on

How much it needs flushing depends on whether tap water was used to mix with the coolant. If it's full of calcium/hard water deposits then a more thorough flush designed to help clean that crud out is warranted. Distilled should always be used to mix with the coolant, never tap water.Ok got the Hayden clutch in it’s way from amazon, like 40 bucks. I think that will help a lot, though part of me is tempted to by pass the clutch all together and jut have the fan spinning when the engine is on, this being TX and all.

I got a bunch of diff quotes for a coolant flush, I have a 110dollar 20 min flush, basically a drain run cleaner through it once and fill, and I have a 190 3 hour flush that’s drain, push chem cleaners through a bunch, distilled water , then fill. I’m guessing it’s worth the extra $$, what do y’all think?
Not in my opinion, something is still not working as it should. I wish I could be more help but it should be able to deal with what you are describing with everything stock. Mine has dealt with outside temps well over 100 without any problems.Am I just asking to much of her
Fuuuuuuuck. Well maybe It needs another thermostat.this same thing happened to my tj i was out with some buddy’s and my temp got up past 260. i wasn’t in the vehicle to watch jt but my check gauges light was blinking and dinging. i took it in the next day and the water pump was shot. that would be my best guess. you usually have to replace the thermostat after overheating to that degree
She does have a stupid K&N intake, I doubt that is all related to the problem, but it’s there. Pretty much all that has been done to the engine, has the injector blanket and such from the recalls.Not in my opinion, something is still not working as it should.

i have a spectre air intake on mine. that shouldn’t have anything to do with it.Fuuuuuuuck. Well maybe It needs another thermostat.

Yeah happened Pretty bad the first time before I revamped the cooling system, had to let her sit for a 1/2 hour. This time was no where near as bad, probably wouldn’t have noticed if I wasn’t on full alert. Occasionally it Happens to my vw when the timing is to far off, that and carb backfires. Winch are always fun (not)the rough idle i think was pre igniting. meaning the engine is so hot it’s igniting the fuel and air before the spark plugs do. that is extremely bad for your engine though so if it does happen again let her sit for a while. same thing happened to me with the rough idle.
i’ve heard so many different things about the louvres. i looked into them for a while and decided it wouldn’t be worth the holes in my hood but they would definitely work a little. i have also seen people put a second electric fan in front of the radiator that runs all the time. not sure how well that works thoughI’m wondering if a hood louver wouldn’t help solve my problem, allow the air pulled through by the fan to escape. I like the look of them but my dad (who has his name on the title and thus veto power for any mods) said no. But if it served an actual purpose as apposed to just looks he might be open to the idea.
Like between the rad. and the grill? Seems like it might help. So long as you still had the engine one which moves more air than a electric could ever hope to. Probably couldn’t hurt. IDK if there is space though. Especially with the A/C condenser which I believe is in front. Though there might be space cause there’s no trans cooler (M/T)i’ve heard so many different things about the louvres. i looked into them for a while and decided it wouldn’t be worth the holes in my hood but they would definitely work a little. i have also seen people put a second electric fan in front of the radiator that runs all the time. not sure how well that works though
Any suggestions? I’m a little lost cause i just did a cooling system revamp in July.The rough idle after startup when hot is your injectors over heating. Its a common problem TJ's have that is caused by heat soak. It goes away as the injectors cool off. Nothing to worry about but you have noticed it recently because overheating obviously causes it to be more prominent. It occurs to some TJ's even when they have no cooling system problems.
Louvers are not the answer. There is something else wrong with the system. You should be able to idle with the AC on in 100 degrees with no problems.
