today i WAS GOING FROM 1960 TO 2920 with the ac on and the jeep overheated , here lately it has given me more problems then it is worth. thinking about trading it in for something more mild.

 

This will sound stupid, BUT Did you happen to notice if it was as simple as the radiator fan not working?

Mine nearly overheated a couple months ago while out offroading. I shut off the motor, but kept the key in and noticed the fan wasn't moving. I let it cool down, and restarted it, and still no fan. Drove the short ways to the dealer and by the time I got there it began to work. I'm pretty sure that I got water in the fan motor, and when it drained/dried out, it started working again. The dealer said they'd seen 1 previously that stopped working, but it was full of mud. Seems the design on the fan motor isn't so great if they are prone to water/mud getting in them.

 

Definitley look into the fan i had one just recently that just stopped working out of the blue.

It really amazed me that it just quite. A easy test is to turn on the a/c and see if it comes on if not that is probably what it could be

Just an idea

 

the piont is I only have 12,000 miles on it and this is the second time it has happened. Im getting tired of seeing my jeep on the back of a wrecker going to the dealership

 

If you have been in the mud it could be the radiator clogged with mud. you maybe paying your dealer to clean your radiator. I speak from experience and have helped a few others on here wash their radiator out.
