I replaced all of the cooling components last year on my 97 XJ 4.0L and even installed a good three row radiator. The XJ is now running between the 210 mark and the next one. It began to act this way after it overheated while pulling a trailer this spring, before that it ran exactly at or just below 210. Anyway, I have put a Prestone flush chem inside and have been running that as I saw the water looked rusty and had sediment in the bottom of the reservoir bottle. I also put in a NAPA 180* thermostat (just for $%^ and giggles)which seemed to do nothing as the temp is still above 210. I took a video of me turning the mechanical fan by hand right after I turned the XJ off and popped the hood. It seemed to spin pretty freely. I could spin and let go and it would make one half revolution. Is that right? Need a new one already after I replaced it last year? Seemed to get warm when driving and at idle.

Let me know if the link does not work.
