[QUOTE="NineLives, post: 458593, member: 24241"] Ok so today I jacked up the front end and burped to my satisfaction. There were some bubbles. I then removed some fluid from the rad and did a combustion gas fluid test. That came back negative. Great, so far so good right? Top off the rad and get about my day. Jeep has pushed to 248 and ranged from 240 to 248 constantly while on the freeway for an hour, not pushing speeds, no a/c on etc. When I burped this morning, the upper hose didn't get hot until 221 and then dropped to 210 and stayed around that temp. For shits and giggles I call a local dealership and he says they have both Mopar and Motorad t-stats, so I'm gonna give that a go and also get a new Mopar rad cap. They are 17#, all the ones in the stores are 18#. I'll report back tomorrow, if anyone is interested. [/QUOTE]
