Jeep Cherokee Overheating Tips & Tricks 

I really like the drift style radiator sprayers!!👍

Holy goodness! Thats a lot of wiring and mods! Sweet hood.

Solid video dude, keep them coming

Thee best Coolant system video on RU-vid for a Cherokee , you are spot on with everything you’ve done , and everything you’ve done I’ve been running on my 94 for over 10 yrs with great results my Cherokee also will not run over 180 in hundred degree plus heat….Great video Thanks for sharing this knowledge…

Very nice content here man! I’ve not seen or heard of some of your modifications you’ve shown. I will be putting some of these mods into my xj soon. it struggles with the heat here in Florida

ZJ clutch works with the mishimoto just need to adjust the top radiator mount a little. Also helps if you have poly trans mount so the whole unit doesn't move front to back. Agree on the power loss but it's not significant, and makes a big diff at low speeds. It's a good tradeoff, no longer need full electric for crawling and no more high speed heat like I had with full electric.

Love your ideas man! Where/how did you mount your sensor for your aftermarket temp gauge?

i basically have the same cooling mods except i have a stock style new rad. and a external plate style trans cooler with a 180° stant Tstat with the drilled weephole, and i also run waterwetter in the summer. same thing it all works great, no issues with the ecu, running rich etc. the Dorks on the interwebs freak out every time i list my cooling mods, its hilarious. theyd rather run hot on the edge of overheating because thats the way the factory did it, stupid. great vid, hope people learn from it, and you got a new subscriber👍

Exlent modification

After getting sick of flushing my 99 xj cooling system constantly I made some modifications. I did the mishimoto radiator and electric fan. Hesco high flow thermostat housing and water pump. 180 thermostat. Here in UT the temps can fluctuate from as low as 15-20 degrees to 105-110. The fan controller on the mishimoto radiator lets me dial in when it kicks on in winter (higher temps) and summer (lower temps). Im usually fluctuating between 190-210 and never getting above 215 or so

Sorry man I know it's been argued to hell and back but regarding the thermostat, it's nothing to do with emissions. It's set to 210 because the engine tolerances are machined to account for that exact thermal expansion so when you run at lower than operating temp there will be more wear. More scoring, more knock, more piston slap which the 4.0 definitely doesn't need, etc. Regardless of when the tstat opens, overheating is indicative of a greater problem. Mine is stock 210 and has no problem cooling once the system is open, even in hot weather. I only have vents because the bay gets stupid hot, enough to damage the injectors. (A heat shroud under the fuel rail helps a lot with keeping it from boiling over too). Either way the 4.0 is one tough cookie and a long as your oil is reaching the proper viscosity she'll truck on regardless. 👍

I run a 180° thermostat No codes . Too hot in Florida.

I should’ve started with this video lol.

How much additional vibes do those motor mounts produce and do you also have a trans mount? My trans and motor move around way too much. Thanks!

Does running a 180° thermostat affect your fuel economy? I’ve always heard that if you run improper thermostats that the engine uses more fuel to get to temp.

Did you plump your trans cooler in series or bypass the radiator?

Love the spray nozzles on the radiator. Do you think they actually help?

Bro can you post the link for that windchill wiper washer reservoir and motor?

Is that the flow cooler water pump? I’ve been looking for a hesco pump but can’t seem to find it

I have a 97 xj about to change the water pump and* thermostat but i was told to go with a 195. My jeep is stock. no mods Any tips on which 1 to get?

A 180 stat tripped my ck engine light put the 195 back

You cannot find that damn hesco thermostat housing anywhere it’s infuriating
