22re gets hotter with the heat on? Yes, that has been a common problem for many years and its been covered very well here:
http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTri...tml#Thermostat I quote Roger from the link: After everybody looked at me like I was crazy for saying that it ran hotter with the heat on, I went to the dealership and bought t-stat part # 90916-03070. This did the trick. What happens on the 22R and 22RE engine, when the coolant goes through the heater core it gets cooled off enough that when it gets dumped back in on top of the t-stat it shuts it. Therefore the temperature in the engine continues to go up. The t-stat that I have mentioned has two valves in it, one at the regular temp. and one smaller on at a cooler temp. If the cool water shuts the big one, the smaller one stays open. The overshooting/spiking temperature gauge may aslo appear independent of heater operation. |

not to revive a long dead thread but i am at my witts end with the coolant system on my 88 22re!!! 1. begining of winter: temp would run about 1/3 factory guage then boom spike up to the top white line for about then minutes then back down. 2.it got worse, temp wouldnt fall back down from white line, thermostate changed after that. 3. same thing happened, then changed radiator then hoses, all new half prestone half distilled water. 4. Now the temp rides in the middle of the guage and the heat is hot until it hits this point. now mid winter heat failing is NOT!! cool. any help?? im desperate
