Re: Overheating
Do you have a fan clutch? If so, replace it. Mileage is about right for
one of these to fail.
How is your electric fan controlled? Is it switching on when it is supposed
to? I have an electric fan in my 2.5 liter Wrangler which I have set to
come on at 215º F, but I use it for mostly highway use and no AC.
