Hot Jeep??? (question)

I've been noticing that my YJ with a 2.5 is running at about 210, up to the 3/4 mark at highway speeds, but down around 210 again putting around town. It never goes into the red though.

Is this normal? Or do you think the thermostat/water pump is going out?

Thanks.

I run 190 to 210 all the time and have had no problems. You may wantto go with a cooler thermostat if it worrys you. tug[addsig]

I can't get mine above 120-150. I can't figure out what the problem is I change the thermostat and it still doesn't get up past 150. Any ideas?[addsig]

Do a manual check on the water temp with a thermometer and see if your gauge is off. tug[addsig]

To do that do I just need to run it for a while with the radiator cap off, with a thermometer in it? Or is there some other way I should try?[addsig]

Thanks for the help. I won't worry about it then. I have a guy coming to look at my Jeep tonight and was going to tell him about it if it wasn't normal. But now I won't worry about it. Thanks again!
