What temp should my jeep Cherokee Run at?
Most people report normal operating temperatures to be around 195-210 but anything over 210 as being bad. The 4.0 is designed to run @210. They do get up to temp quickly and generally stay right there unless there is an issue like a bad water pump or cooling fan dying. Your jeep should maintain a temp of about 210 deg.
What makes the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon difficult to drive?
The Rubicon stands higher off the ground, making entry and exit somewhat difficult because of the the high door lip, which protects the interior when you are driving through mud or a river (not recommended). The off road tires make ordinary driving more difficult, and make the Rubicon very twitchy on the highway.
What should the coolant temp be on a Jeep Wrangler?
CTS ohms should be consistent with the actual coolant temperature. That is why I suggested measuring the thermostat housing temperature—close to the coolant temp sensor. Compare the real coolant temperature to the CTS and gauge reading; see whether the sensor and gauge are accurate for the coolant temperature.
How much does a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon cost?
The base Rubicon is $24,000, but this price is probably inflated a bit because the company knows there will be rebates. The total price for our test vehicle was $28,000, with the two major options being air-conditioning and the hard top, and at $900 each.
What kind of engine does a 2003 Jeep Wrangler have?

What should the temperature be in a Jeep Wrangler?
210-degrees F makes us wary but will not hurt your iron block-and-head Jeep 4.0L engine. Also check the ohms reading at the CTS, these sensors can be off and give a false gauge reading.
