What kind of thermostat do you use on a Jeep Cherokee?
Let’s go off of the assumption that all fans are properly shrouded and in good, working condition and the systems are full of a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water and all air has been purged from the systems. Lets hear it!! I use a Mr Gasket 180F and have had no problems.
What should the temperature be on a Jeep Cherokee?
I have never seen an XJ that runs the “195Degree” optimal temperature without help ie upgrades or constant maintenance and low mileage most run about 200-210 wich is running hot to me before I get beat up about that statement keep in mind that is my experience here in Texas with our heat Good replies so far!
How can I tell if my Jeep Grand Cherokee is overheating?
Coolant temp sensors don’t measure air temp. If there was no coolant in your engine the gauge will read cool when acualy the engine will be turning itself in to a molten pile of steel. Sounds to me like your head gasket blew out, or wore you cracked a head. There is a easy way to tell.
Is there coolant coming out of my Jeep?
I bought a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 45k mile (yes, that’s right) three days ago. Had them change the timing belt at the dealer before I took it. Have driven it 200 miles. Pulled in the driveway just now and fluid (I think it is coolant) pouring out from under the front.

Where is the temp sensor on a Jeep Cherokee?
Second, the temp sensor for the gauge is at the back of the engine in the head, the hottest place in the engine cooling system. It might be 220° there, but only 195 at the stat. It is a problem with a long engine block with the coolant coming all the way from the front.
What’s the temp of a Jeep Cherokee in Texas?
Here in Texas at a pretty constant 100 plus degrees during summer months my jeep will run all day at about 190 degrees if I leave the fan on while Im driving.
Why does my Jeep Cherokee Run so hot?
Lol, but I’d be more likely to put in a 195 or slightly hotter stat in than leave it completely without one Engines with no stat will have trouble warming up, except on a hot day. Then they will run hot and not cool down from the coolant not spending enough time in the radiator to remove heat.
