Do you have the address by any chance?

Thank you for all the advice, I just moved to the Phoenix Area. Sadly I can’t really work on my truck in my new residence. Do you know of any reliable/ trustworthy shops that I could have work on the old girl?

I have also seen on some Cherokee forums people adding venting to the hoods to help with “heat soak” but I was unsure if there was any evidence to those claims or if it was just a few people cutting there hoods and saying “oh yeah runs way cooler now”

I have not changed the radiator, it’s an 88 4.0. I bought with 77k so the chance it’s an original radiator are definitely there. @cruiser54 I’ve used your website for renix tips quite a lot, I’ll head over there and check out the open loop cooling thread.

It’s running right around 215-220 maybe according to the gauge but that’s a little vague given the gauge has 210, a hash mark that I just assume is 230 and then 260, before it never got above 210. Water pump, thermostat, coolant is all pretty new. Electric fan blows solid and clutch fan seems to be good as well. I was considering another flush and adding some “water wetter”

Hello everyone! I just moved from Mass to Arizona and my manche made the trip with relative ease, but now that I’m the desert I’ve noticed over the past week or so it’s running a little bit warmer than it ever has. Looking for some tips on how to get a cooler engine temp in this 110+ heat, thanks!
