Thanks! I got the right thermostat for the 2008 JKU. Installed it with the new thermostat. The thermostat looks awfully similar to the old one. I put everything back together. Cleaned up all the electrical from the fire (https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...t-fire-342981/) and it runs!!! When I went to fill up my radiator, noticed all the fluid pouring out of the side. Just discovered a big old hole in the radiator. FML haha

Just for a final update. After a new radiator, thermostat, and ECT temperature all my cooling problems have vanished.
