XJ Overheating
Jun 16, 2009 05:30 PM #1
Alright Guys, I am trying to fix some little things on my brothers xj before I give it back to him. I know that they are notorious for overheating. It is not overheating but it runs really hot. What do you guys recomend? maybe a big electric fan or something, if so let me know where to get one

should I look into putting a new or bigger radiator in it? If so can I find one that will mount right in?

It should be fine with the radiator size it came with. When was the last time it was flushed? How is the cap?

Cap, and thermostat( i think thats how you spell it) mine runs at 210-215 on the trail. Its alway ran that hot too. They have ones that switch over at 180 degrees also. Its cheaper than a fan and the vents, try that first.
