I did post this on a Jeep forum, but I imagine anyone here could help diagnose the problem.
If the engine is turned on while warm, the it will run at only about 155*F (10:00 on the gauge.) for quite some time. I'd say 10-15 minutes at least. Also, depending on how long it as been turned off, it'll read slightly below operating temperature and then drop down to 155*F. After playing around with the heater, it does feel cooler when this is happening.
From a cold start, the engine gets to temperature normally and will stay there like it should. Sounds like the t stat likes to stay open at times?
Thanks in advance people of BITOG.
