Well it sounds like your system is mostly new, check out the temp sensors ( I think older models have 2, one on the back of the head and in the thermostat housing), if you have anything other than a MOPAR 195° t-stat in it now change it to one, check your overflow hose to see if it's clogged up, is your efan always on or does it just kick on at 215°? And last is your fan clutch working correctly?
Also the clutch fan seems to work correctly, it is on when i first start up and leave so i know it engages. When exactly should it come on/shut off? and the E fan i havent checked yet, and its FREEZING here, so ill chk it in the am and let u know.

I will change the sensors and swap to a MOPAR T-stat (the one i have in there now is man. by Fail-Safe and upon overheat stays in the open position, still change it??) and hope for the best. Again, ty both for the insight. I LOVE my Jeep but it was beginning to frustrate me.
