Over heating problem on 1995 Jeep Cherokee 4.0?

Answer 1

This is not a definitve answer, but I have heard that overheating is a common problem on early model Cherokees. I had the same issue with my 93 Cherokee Sport (4.0L, 4WD). I first made sure my coolant/water ratio was good. That wasn't the problem, though, so next, I had the radiator flushed and cleaned. That only worked for a couple of months. After that, I had a new radiator installed and changed the thermostat from a 210 to a 190. That seems to have worked reasonably well, but I still get occassional overheating in the summer on long steep grades or even on flat stretches if the airflow across the radiator is disturbed even a little bit, like following an 18-wheeler on the highway or driving in stop-and-go traffic around town.
