Temp Problem

about 250, im not loosing coolant unless it pukes out of the overflow bottle so i doubt it's a head gasket. And it cools down the faster i drive so im gonna wash out my radiator to make sure nothing is in there

You don't need to be loosing coolant to have a bad head gasket.It can be sucking in air and pushing the coolant out into the overflow bottle.i don't know much about the renix jeeps and the cooling systems tho hopefully somebody else chimes.

On a side note, when im accelerating, sometimes right before it shifts into the next gear, it'll goose itself, almost as if im getting on and off the gas quickly, not sure if this has anything to do with it.

well to answer your previous question, there really is no downside to wiring your electric fan to a switch. Just remember that it is on a switch and you should shut it off when you shut the jeep off. If you just wire it straight to the battery it will be on all the time, as a battery doesn't stop doing its thang when the motor is off.

Now the jeep also doesn't have heat

is it low on coolant from overheating?

If i were you i would start checking things over before you blow this engine up because getting to 250 is not good at all for the engine. Do you have the spring in the lower radiator hose?

miss read the guage, it gets to 225 at idle

So i got home and started working on it, when i worked on the heater core earlier last month, all i did was swap lines and left it like that, so i swapped them back, and bled the system. Then i washed out the front of the radiator which led to mass amounts of dirt/mud/sand to pour out, and now it runs like a champ again.

yea air flow through radiator will cause over heating

glad its fixed
