Did you replace the upper radiator hose?
 
could you have a air pocket? Ive had that issue with 2.3’s before.
 
So I replaced. Radiator, heater core, water pump, Tstat and housing, upper and lower rad hose and the hoses from heater core, fan abd clutch. Everything hahaha

Its a 91 4.0 4x4 with AC
 
But seriously.

I've found evidence of casting residues in every cologne I've worked on, 2.9 and jy 4.0s. Did you flush and backflush your block?

I poured water in the tstat housing till the block ran clean the frist time. Think I should get a flush treatment and do it again?

Need pressure. Engine dead 12 hrs. Don't risk a head on a cologne. Thermal shock is bad for them. Garden hose at full tilt through the block and heater core both directions. Do till clear several times.

Take rad out flush upside down and right side up too.

Copy that, I'll report back when I can
 
If you don't get it, write back in and answer some questions;

1. How do you know it's overheating? What are the symptoms? I hope you are not just going by the factory gauge. If you are, you should have other symptoms along with it. Or are you puking coolant? Any other symptoms as to why you think it's overheating?

2. When does it overheat? Only in town and not on the highway? Only on the highway and not in town?
