    Quality thermostat replacement?

    Hey I'm the OP, thanks for commenting your experience! 6 months past the last repairs I mentioned in this thread, and I'm still riding normal-for-a-3.6L temps. Doesn't hardly ever go over 230, mostly low 220s or high teens. I live in the mountains and have various grades and inclines, and...

    A/C pressure sensor location on 2015 JK?

    It wasn't coolant. It was refrigerant that blew out. I don't know where it blew from. I'm wondering if ac pressure has anything to do with fan operation? I have read something in another forum that listed that as something to check when trying to diagnose why fan won't turn on. I know I...

    A/C pressure sensor location on 2015 JK?

    I switched out the fan I just installed 2wks ago and the new one never kicked on. I have ordered a rebuilt TIPM from Mac's and should arrive this coming week. I don't know that it's my TIPM, but I've had some typical random issues come up over the last several months that I never thought to...

    A/C pressure sensor location on 2015 JK?

    Hello I'm having problems troubleshooting an issue. Actually 2 issues, but seem connected to each other. My current problem sidelining me from driving is that I've blown 2 radiator/cooling fans in less than 2 weeks. I bought this Jeep not even a year ago and don't know how old the fan was...

    Coolant running too hot

    My journey was long and painful. Went thru 4 t-stats from October 2022 to May 2023. 1 replaced by a shop, 1 replaced by me, 1 replaced at time of major repair (heads/water pump/timing chain/cam rockers). After the 3rd replacement during the major repairs, I burped myself to make sure it was...

    Coolant running too hot

    My most recent thermostat has a Chrysler stamp clearly on it, with no other markings. Everything prior clearly said MotoRad on it. Not home to take a pic at the moment.

    Coolant running too hot

    My issue was similar after buying a used 2015 JKU last year. Tried everything but the elephant in the room until we couldn't ignore it any longer: the heads/gaskets etc. However, even after the head repair (which included a new water pump and thermostat), I was still overheating. I have had...

    Throttle body butterfly valve position

    Thanks. I did that after installing the TB last month. I also did it just for SnG this morning after the issue came about. After TB installation last month, CEL came back on after a day and I never got the codes scanned. I had it scanned prior to the installation, which resulted in some...

    Throttle body butterfly valve position

    Happy Saturday! I installed a new OEM TB about a month ago and have about 5K miles on it. That took care of the red lightning bolt until this morning. I parked for an hour after driving in the mountains for almost 2hrs. Went to leave my spot and was sitting in reverse for about a minute...

    Quality thermostat replacement?

    I have driven approximately 500 miles since Friday's home repairs, over various terrain and grades of inclines. Runs a tad warm (230s) on long uphills or short steep ones. But overall driving it, the temp is being maintained at a normal rating. I'm happy to have hopefully put this issue...

    2015 Jeep Wrangler Overheating Issue

    So mine WAS both heads needed resurfacing. They did the head repairs, timing chain kit, 2 cams and rockers, new water pump, new thermostat, radiator flush, refill system with OAT (I specified it, I was tired of using the "All Vehicles" coolant). Coolant is returning to radiator. Running a...

    Quality thermostat replacement?

    Ok so today I jacked up the front end and burped to my satisfaction. There were some bubbles. I then removed some fluid from the rad and did a combustion gas fluid test. That came back negative. Great, so far so good right? Top off the rad and get about my day. Jeep has pushed to 248 and...

    Quality thermostat replacement?

    Luckily I have a lot of fluid left in my kit to do several tests. Thanks for suggesting that!

    Quality thermostat replacement?

    Thank you for answering my question. I'll look at Stant. I think it's the therm because everything else "normal" has been done to my Jeep to address overheating and/or dramatic temp fluctuations. Within last 3 weeks: Both heads/gaskets repaired, new intake gaskets, 2 new cams and all rockers...

    Quality thermostat replacement?

    I sure am glad yall are running into the same price swings I ran into last fall. These website discrepancies are what caused me to call Mopar, and thus sent me down this spiral of finding Genuine parts. I call them based off the weird pricing. And we can't figure out what the deal is. They...

    Quality thermostat replacement?

    Hello. Looking for recommendations for quality thermostat replacement, since Mopar is FUBAR and no idea when a Genuine part will be available. I have installed 4 thermostats on my 2015 since September 2022. No one has a Genuine Mopar part. They sometimes think they do, but in the end, the...

    2015 Jeep Wrangler Overheating Issue

    I have been working with a good mechanic. He lets me ask all the questions and explains things in ways I can understand. Dropping off Jeep on Monday (today is Thursday). Should have some kind of a direction to go in by Tuesday.

    2015 Jeep Wrangler Overheating Issue

    I revived this thread last fall. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong. An update on things done since my last post: Replaced thermostat 2 more times. MotoRad. Can't find Genuine ANYWHERE. If a dealer says they have Genuine in stock, they are lying or misinformed. They have...
