Took it to the shop and they said one of the multiple temperature relays was bad, the water pump was bad. Said theyre notorious for overheating problems and that the fan and temp relays go out pretty regular. also notorious for unexplainable computer problems like the lights just randomly turning on when the car is parked. Mine sometimes does that, where the interior light or something just comes on for absolutely no reason at all and drains my battery. I had all of these things repaired, upgraded to an aftermarket radiator and new electric fan, even added dual 10" electric fans to the trans cooler and went to a lower thermostat. This truck still runs over temperature unless its on the highway and now it has a lifter tick, which im told is also a pretty standard problem in the jeep world. Can go on youtube and see 50390468239486 jeep owners trying to indentify their lifter tick problem.
Given my terrible experiences with this vehicle, i wouldnt consider another Jeep unless it already had a v8 swap. Even then, im so soured to the idea of a jeep that i dont think i could ever be excited about buying one.
