As far as coolant goes, the plastic housing on the thermostat has cracked for other people. I don't know if the one you pulled off looked cracked at all. Mine was noticeably cracked to the point where I had a steady leak once the Jeep was up to temp.
The only other common leaking point is from the bottom of the radiator after it has cracked.
I have always noticed a slight hesitation in that RPM range when I'm turning, but I assumed it was from the stability control while I'm turning.

Just got done at my Jeep dealer.
They found a PCM and TCM update for the firmware.
They performed the updates. They would not or could not tell me what the updates were or what they were for.
$43 bucks later.
We will see if it helps. But I’m not holding my breathe.
I’ll be able to tell tomorrow morning after the first cold start up and take off of it helped.
I hope it does. Because this hesitation issue is driving me mad. And the colder it gets here in the Midwest. The worse it is.
