You would have to contact Jon at RPM extreme. As of now I don.t think so put he is adding more models over time.
That's what happened with the 2.0.
Please explain this to me , I have a 17 WK2 with the same generation Pentastar with 8speed trans, it sits at the thermostat 194F temp all day long, recently towed a boat for 600 miles, highest temp recorded was 202-205 while pulling a grade. 100k miles original oil cooler, head gaskets etc. Wrangler sits in traffic, 220F temp
My wife has a 2020 Subaru Forester Sport four banger. It's a flat-4 boxer engine, in the summertime in Texas with 100 plus degree weather it usually sits around 220°f to 225°f, but on long drives when we go down south, I've seen it get up to 235°f.
I couldn't possibly tell you about your individual use. There's so many affecting factors that affect engine temperatures. I'm just telling you what the safe operating temperatures are.
I was wondering why so many worry about 225°F to 240°F operating temp. Though with the small radiator 245°F could quickly overheat when exerted, since there is hardly any cooling headroom in its design. Also, probably the main reason why fan speed at 75% is common that the engine is within limits. I would think once engine hits 250°F the fan speed will be at 100%.
I don't worry about 225F, I worry about how easy it gets there and keeps climbing and how the oil is almost always 10-15F hotter. It just shows how the system has little capability to control additional heat beyond the minimums.
???? So, you want it to stay cooler, but you don't want to do anything?
95% of the oil temps I get are about the same as yours. The v6 is set to operate around 220°F or so.
If you are asking why your JL's engine temps are high while sitting in traffic, it's simply because there is no relative air movement into the radiator. If there's no cool air coming in, then your engine basically just soaks in it's own heat until the thermostat opens and the fan kicks in.
I get that there is no relative air movement, but my Grand Cherokee has the exact same engine, produced by the same manufacturer, same thermostat. Jeep WK2 has an ability to manage a steady temperature all day long, while Wrangler fluctuates 30 degrees all the time.
I also have a 2016 GC with the Pentastar engine, and noticed the same thing as soon as I started driving my '21 JL. It is important to note that although the engines are similar, they aren't exactly the same. For instance, the GC's Pentastar oil capacity is 6 qts, while the JL's is 5 qts. I know the differences don't end there, but there are likely several that account for the different temps and other performance parameters. While both are called "Pentastar," it's like comparing apples and oranges.
It also has a bigger grill and radiator.
