Don't touch or change anything. This is the normal operating temp of the vehicle. I have a 97 Sahara and it has run that temp since I got it in 97 with 20,000 miles on it. It now has 113,000 and no troubles.

Re: what is the normal running temperature?
Same here. Runs a touch below the 210 mark doing 55 mph and slightly above the 210 when I get on the interstate and do around 80 mph. Guess it is normal but would think that a slightly cooler engine temp would be better. Has anyone tried installing a 180 stat?

Re: what is the normal running temperature?
I wouldnt go anything lower than OEM. The machine is deigned to take a 195 degree thermostat. I wouldnt change it. Although, if it takes a 195 thermostat you would think that is what it should run at. 210 does seem to be a little high. It could be a worn out fan clutch that is not pushing max air through the radiator ( I have seen this before )

Re: what is the normal running temperature?
Mine runs dead at 195-200 degrees. Never higher.

Re: what is the normal running temperature?
All Jeeps with a 2.5 4cylinder has a high temperature thermostat in it because the air that is needed in the carberator induction system has to be that hot for the little engine to not skip. I've had people use a lesser temp thermostat and they brought it back for a skipping problem.
