Ok so I've heard all the jeep jokes but Fire away anyways it's too easy a target not too..

Seriously car forums to technical seabreeZe simple. Hopefully someone's got a good tip..

Xj 99 jeep Cherokee sport. 260km on clock bought 3k at auctions 2 years ago never spent a cent on it. Temp gauge goes to 125, has always sat just below 100, in traffic tips over 100.

Overheated once after a long day country side driving ( should of check fluids before left didn't and she got thirsty in the middle of no where) filled up good to go. 12 months since then she's always run hot but never over heated. Until 3 weeks ago in heavy traffic. Dropped new radiator in by mechanic. Sweet temp dropped back to like 70-75, 85 in traffic. Feels like a new car

Less than 9 days later again in traffic steaming and fluid pouring out. Off to mechanic again. New water pump and themo stat. Did show me both parts and both looked completely rat **** worn out. Drive off from mechanic today and within 5 mins she's jumped right up to 95 degrees and just sat there steady even in traffic. Then after work straight up again within 5 mins and sat there only creeping up to 100 but not over in traffic. Doesn't feel right though

So what am I missing after new radiator it dropped solid 15 degrees normal operating but since replacing water pump and themo stat gone back to running hot not over heating but running hot.

Anyone got any experience with this or tips.
I've spent $1600 in two visits in 9 days that's half the value of the car I don't want to keep spending unless it's going to resolve the issue

Welcome real advice and smart ass comments to brighten my weekend considering that money was for a new Board
