Most thermostats are designed to open at 208 ºF (98 ºC), so one should be able to stay just under the middle of the temp gauge if everything is running properly. This is the norm on my Jeep unless I'm caught in Atlanta traffic...

I know mines running properly I run at 210 but finding something to do on my rig is always a fun thing. If she run at 235 regularly then there's an issue

If its plugged into the right wires, start ur jeep. Then go to the plug on the thermostat housing, the temp sending unit, unplug it. Wait a min, and it should kick on.
Also, could it be the jeep wasn't at operating temp, the fan would not kick on for the AC? Just throwing that out there.

I unplugged the temp sending unit on the thermostat housing and the fan started.
After plugging the temp sending unit back in, the aux fan kept running regardless of whether the AC was on or off, even after it cooled the engine temp below 210º with the AC off.
Is this indicative of a bad temp sending unit, or could this be caused by something else?

Always K&N, can't go wrong. I think filters are mainly a personal preference. Ask lots of peeps and get lots of answers.
