[QUOTE="tweeks327, post: 458791, member: 25083"] Big thank you to, BlackJKU and all others that helped get this 2015 Rubicon JK heating issue under control. As previously mentioned, we changed the stat 3 times, the coolant heat sensor, radiator, bled the stat, and burped it for days with no results. The jeep still overheated. As a last ditch effort, I took it to a local shop owner named Pee Wee in Wake Forest, NC. Pee Wee is awesome. He was emphatic that it wasn't the head gasket nor was it the cylinders. He had it for a couple of days and determined it was the cooling fan. While the fan seemed like it was working fine for me, apparently it wasn't running at full strength. He said the fan module inside the fan housing was failing. He tried to save me money by putting a non-OEM fan in it, but that didn't work so he put the OEM fan in it. We still had to burp the coolant system a couple more times, but all seems to be working as expected now. Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
