The car runs a little bit hot to begin with - just a little over the midpoint on my gauge. When driving on the freeway at 65+ mph for about an hour, on a warm (65+ degrees fahrenheit), the gauge begins to climb towards the red. I have to turn the heater on at full blast in order to cool it down or pull over, turn the engine off for a few minutes. I just had the 3,000 mile oil-change and fluid checkups a month ago and wad was told that all's well. The jeep does not overheat when just driving city streets at 35-50 mph...
My mechanic told me that there is no way to know what the problem is unless the overheating event is somehow duplicated when in the shop.
What the heck could it be???[img:d25fdfbaf9]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/534535_DSCN3765_1.jpg[/img:d25fdfbaf9]
