1077192 Well -- i just put a 160 thermostat in the jeep. Again, it overheated within 5 minutes. Again, when I take it out, everything seems fine. Very puzzling. There are no leaks in the system, there is a new radiator, new water oump, new belts, new hoses -- I cannot figure it out. Let's...

1077200 There is no fan clutch. And a friend of mine has a cj5 of the same year and that has no fan clutch, In any case -- I just took a long ride in the jeep and the temp hovered around 160 to 170 -- never climbed any higher. However, I do agree that something must be wrong -- it is...

1077207 Yes -- the thermostat is in properly. And yes, the whole situation is odd and puzzling. No -- the jeep does not have a fan clutch, and my friend, who has two jeeps -- cj5 and cj7, 1979 and 1980 -- says nether of his jeeps have a fan cluch either, and that none of his previous jeeps...

1069607 About to put a lift on my new jeep, a 1980 cj7. Someone on this site mentioned an inexpensive way to lift a jeep is to use rubber hockey pucks. How much of a lift will that give me? Can you use two pucks together to get a bigger lift? Will I have to do anything else to the jeep...

1075383 I have a 1980 cj7 with a 258. What would the average temperature be for driving around at about 50 mph. Mine is usually just below 180 degrees, but if I sit in traffic very long it starts to climb. Does taking out the thermostat help keep the temp down? New belts, new radiator, new...

1077176 Well -- my 1980 cj7 was overheating when I stood in traffic. My temp usually stayed around 180, but recently started climbing to over 200 if I stoof for very long in traffic. I decided to go to Autozone to get a gasket -- I decided to take the thermostat out all together. When I got...
