[QUOTE="SirDoopYJ, post: 430750, member: 19139"] Jeep is still running at around 220F I pulled thermostat and ran the Jeep without it. The coolant in the radiator was moving no problem so that rules out the waterpump. I tested the 195F thermostat (which is a brand new Premium NAPA thermostat, but says MOTORAD on the side) on a burner and it opened, so that rules out the thermostat. I even went ahead and re-installed the 195F the PO originally had in there. That one said MOTORAD on the side as well. Also opened on burner. Fan clutch is brand new. This leaves me left with either the radiator, or the Crown temp gauge. (Original was broken when I bought the Jeep.) Which with my temperature meter my temps are pretty close to what the gauge is saying. I will quadruple check this. But for the shits and gigs, I went ahead and bought me a used gauge cluster from a seller on FB marketplace. $100 for Tach, Speedo, Fuel, Temp, Oil, Volts. So just for the OEM temp gauge I have replacements for all the others. I thought it was a good deal. If the OEM gauge reads the same. F it. I am buying a radiator. I am getting aggravated with this cooling nonsense. Thank you for joining my TED Talk. [/QUOTE]
