[QUOTE="Feral, post: 433252, member: 19535"] I just replaced the head on my 4.0 and it was running hot, around 235 F. I replaced the following trying to figure it out: Temp sender x4 Waterpump x1 Radiator x1 Thermostat x3 I flushed the block and replaced the hoses. i finally bought a radiator cap with a thermometer in it. It showed I was running about 155 F at the cap. After much searching online, I ordered an OEM temp sender. That $17 part fixed it. I bought 2 senders from NAPA, 1 from Autozone and 1 from Rockauto. Thier mistakes cost me over $1000. [/QUOTE]
