    What is the Operating Temp of the 4.0 motor? Fully warmed up via Torque app im getting 191 to 183F.. is this normal for these motors? My jeep use to run at 210 all day every day. My Subaru ran 198ish. so why so cool for 4.0 motors?

    awesome i making sure mine was not running too cool.. I rather it run on the cools side than in the 200+ range like my XJ did.. it had little room heat up as it easy to overheat

    I range from 179-192* depending on outside temperature, heat/AC settings, and how hard I'm running the truck. 185* is typical. I use an Ultragauge MX.
