You'll appreciate it in the winter, it demists quickly and heats the cab up nicely

have you checked the radiator is not full of crud, restricting the air flow through it.

Wrangler used to sit at 100 not matter what (Unless the rad is full of Crud).

Since the Kenlowe, it sits a little higher (as suggested in the instructions) if I am going slow or sitting in traffic. anything above 40 and she seems to sit at 100 anyway. I think if you try to keep her lower than this you've be running the Kenlowe all the time and burn it out eventually.

On the TJ, 100 is virtical on the temp gauge.
