Rockauto is great but sometimes their shipping kills the great prices they have...sometimes it's just easier to buy local...not napa, auto zone, or advance auto parts...like these small mom and pops parts store is where you can get a steal in parts....
For the comanche I got my radiator, water pump, thermostat for under $60...
Cherokee was just about $75 total...

She runs strong it's just like was said before, in this Miami stop and go traffic and annoying heat, she'll creep around 210-215 and I'd like to see if I could get it a bit lower. I'm just thinking a coolant change and oil cooler would help given this location's average air temps.
Any tips on brands of oil coolers?

Guys, serious question here. On average, what temp does your XJ run at in this South Florida weather? Mine seems to stay at 210-215 and I'd rather it run under 200. It always runs better in cool weather (duh) such as this morning. I'm thinking a coolant change and oil cooler could be in the cards for the old girl.

Your only cooling 1/2 the radiator when aux not on. If it reaches it point that extra coolings needed the cts kicks fan on. Try ac on low speed see what results are.
