Sounds like the fans are the culprit.

1995 grand cherokee limited overheats when the a/c is on

Check the fan operation to the radiator. If the secondary fan doesn't come on it can't dissipate the heat generated from the condensor. There are relays that control the fan under the hood in the electrical center. Check power and ground to both fans when vehicle running A/C on, both fans should be running. Check for blockage in front of rad / condensor.

This is a common problem with WJ Grand Cherokees, it's called a "Blend Door".

In the heating and cooling system you have doors that open and close to give you warm and cold air and a mix of both.

What you have is an arm that pulls a door with peg on top, the peg tends to snap off. As you said your dealer replaced the blend door or doors I would take it back as is has blend door all over it.

Yahoo and youtube "jeep grand cherokee blend door repair"

I had a 02 limited blend doors issues (note the issueS) and was lucky to have it still covered.

I do hope this helped.

Jeep Grand Cherokee running hot. I've changed the

Check your radiator for external and internal obstructions (leaves, bugs etc on the a/c condenser or leaves between the condenser and radiator, rust or calcium deposits inside the radiator core all cause loss of heat transfer)
Also make sure that the system is full and that the electric fan and the clutch fan are operating properly. (electric fan should come on just above normal operating temp and clutch fan should not be "freewheeling" above temp either)
Note: If you need to have the radiator flushed, do it separately from the engine. especially the inline 6 and 4 engines rust up inside and if the system is flushed with the radiator connected, the debris will pack up inside it and actually can worsen the condition.

1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Engine Stays Cold

If you have verified that the dash temp gauge is correct by checking temp of coolant in radiator,yes your guess would be what i would change,the engine needs to have a 195degree thermostat in it.195 degrees is what the computer is programed to see as normal running temp.

1998 jeep grand cherokee cooling problem

Your thermostat is stuck closed. It needs to be changed right away. By the way the operating temp on that motor is 160 degrees so you are running hot you have just been lucky so far. Good Luck
