[QUOTE="maddvector, post: 429565, member: 19449"] I worked in a mechanic shop my last couple of years of high school and a year and half after H.S graduation. Always cooler is better for performance especially on older vehicle that have less stringent pcm's. Woody at 4WJ in Baton Rouge who is a gigantic jeep enthusiastic informed me of the heat problems in the 2.5L engines. So far my jeep has not thrown any codes. The Jeep temperature gauge on the dash shows the fans kicking on around 205 degrees and they run untill 160 degrees. I was debating whether or not to replace the jeep temperature sensor but i will leave it after your code problems... This is the high flow thermostat that I installed: 4363 High Flow Thermostat Fit For Chevy Ford Jeep GM 160 Degree Robertshaw Style [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ebay.com/itm/254784376472?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5337789113&toolid=20001&mkevt=1[/URL] I made sure that I found a thermostatic switch that was close to the same range as the kit I purchased for the wiring of the fan motors that was suppose to be compatible with a Jeep. The rest was just trial and error. [/QUOTE]
