What degree thermostats come stock on an XJ?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if you guys could tell me what the degree settings of the thermostats that come with stock XJ's. Would it be 195*?
Thanks,
George

The 195 stat is what I recommend for the vast majority of stock 4.0 applications.
And I only use Mopar thermostats for the best reliability and least coolant temp fluctuation.

I live in a climate that sees freezing temps in the winter and 100* in the summer. I get quick warm-ups in the winter and they sta cool in the summer.

Just curious: when did this happen? I'm wondering if it's something specific to this engine, or if the quality of the Superstats has declined (I haven't had to buy one in a while).

In the last year or two. My line of thinking was the same as yours until this happened.
