I have a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 4.0 L V6, with 140k miles. My temperature has suddenly started to go over 210 rather quickly, in less than 3 miles normal city driving. I'm thinking thermostat, if so, where is it located on this particular model? Thanks

It should be mounted right on the front of the engine on the head.
