Fixed. Put in a new 195* Robert Shaw thermostat, new upper and lower hoses (the date on them said 1995 wow) and new Fan Clutch.  Runs at 195* with some peaks just below 210* after going up a large hill in third gear at 55mph.  Nice.  Now if I could just fix my idle and clutch issues I would be cooking.

Desert, it seems we have two apples out of the same tree!  My '94 has all the same problems you are having!   :blbl:

So it would seem.  I bough the Jeep because I needed a 4 seat off road car for the family.  This is my 3rd Jeep but the other 2 were 4.0l sixes.  So far I am not a fan of the 2.5l.  The last 4 years have been spent building VW based baja bugs - I am beginning to miss their reliability and simplicity.  Originally this was going to be a off-road mostly toy but some life changes have made it necessary to re purpose it into a daily driver.  Hence the need to get everything working well.  Had I known this a few months ago I would have bought a TJ with a 4L.  Oh well.  Now back to getting this thing to run right.

I hear you...  If I would have know then what I know now, I would have probably gotten the 4.0L as well... But I DO like the YJ better than the TJ stilll
