If I recall, there may be a difference in ECT temp sensors between FJ62 and 80 series 3FE motors. I might double check that, and check wiring at the connector? Just thinking at it.

I've been curios about a similar issue all summer. My 99 AC has "warm spells" in 90 degree + ambient temps with rear AC on, while at highway speeds, especially while climbing grades or pulling the little off road trailer. Engine temp at these times is within range. Evap is clean, new cabin...

Yes! We abrasive blast and powder coat ALL KINDS of metal projects at work! Zap an email with some pics through the website and I'll have a look at them tomorrow! https://powdercoatingabq.com/ Always keeping an eye out for cruiser stuff!

I don't have one, but Grainger or Fastenall might have one in town. Not sure about a Saturday.

Yes, check cable. If defective in any way, replacement will help/fix. They can appear to look good, but not function. Took me months and lots of adjustments to realize/observe it was faulty. New cable made it run right again!

I also keep an eye on this site for info and links. https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/ Hope it gets managed quickly.

I was gonna say check the cable. Even it it "looks" ok, it can be bound up and cause issues.

Might be lifted too high in the front. They need some rake to work right...AND added weight with that kind of lift.

Do you have an aftermarket front bumper and a winch? (Anything blocking lower section of radiator?) I noticed some increase in temp on my 99 after installing a hidden winch, especially noticeable at certain speeds/MPH. Not over heating, but higher temps on average when AOT is higher. A...

There's a cabin air temp sensor right below the key on the panel you removed during install. If the white hose is not connected to it, it may give you issues like what you described.

Just for giggles here, have you disconnected the battery for a bit to reset everything?

Check that they are tight on the battery too, and no corrosion.

Check battery ground? I'm watching this, as my 99 did something similar a few weeks ago, and hasn't since I wiggled and checked battery terminals...but they did not appear to be loose. Brows are still kinda raised...

Might be an OEM choke cable, if it was carburetated. That's what the symbol on the pull looks like to me.
