It could also be the pump impeller has worn and your not getting enough
flow.
Clutches are fairly easy. When hot they shouldn't spin easily and when
cold should spin "easier" but not fully free.
Also know the 8 runs hot and has fairly poor circulation. Installing
the 5.9 hood vents is usually good for 10-20 degrees.

Can it get enough air circulation when driving at 40 mph to cool the engine
down to its normal 190 degree range?

Yep, that's too hot. I'm not even sure if your GC has the aux fan.
The XJ/MJ has an electric fan to the driver's behind the radiator that
cycles with the a/c and/or the high temp switch in the radiator.
