    check that there is no mud or leaves in the radiator . remove the rad cap and see if the coolent is moveing around if its not i cood be themostat stuk shut or the water pump is not working id start here frist cause there is heeps of stuff the can cause a over heating problem

    Not too many things can cause overheating. Your thermostat may not be opening, your water pump could be broken, your radiator could be plugged or your fan could be faulty. The fan is easy to check, apply 12v to it and see if it runs. If it does, the sensor could still be bad. It should come on at around 210 degrees, 235 seems too high to me. Do you have enough coolant in the system? If you do and the fan is working I would check the thermostat next, then the water pump. Good luck.

**** and cj are both idiots, he said 235 the fan comes on...at 245 by readout starts blinking. My bike never got above 210 before this season now even on short rides it overheats to above 220. I'm going to flush the radiator and hope this works. The fan comes on fine, to check the fan all you need is a pair of ears as it stays on after you switch the bike off.

With the 05 I would check the thermostat. With the 03 that is normal, my 02 cuts on and off around the same range. I put a switch in so I could turn my fan on when ever I wanted. I run mine once I get to 175...

Engine overheats and heater blowing cold air

You have air trapped in system , change thermostat , bleed air from system , let it run hot while adding coolant with blower full blast on all front and rear heaters .

2005 Jeep Liberty 3.7L overheating

it's overheating, for sure,
is coolant levels dropping? cold checked at rad cap?
"pulled over and found a hose to cool the radiator and hose near the thermostat,"
i can not understand this statement"above"
if it overheat only parked, check fan for full ops.
if overheats moving too, wont stay cool moving fast
then:
bad rad cap
bad thermostat , they have 7 year life says STANT. (and why)
belts slipping (to water pump)
rad cores blocked (IR thermo gun it) ask
water pump impellers rust 1/2 gone?

all this assumes no coolant loss, if you have loss, tell where.,
where it leans
ground
passengers toes (foot well)
engine oil pan? milky oil
if A/T TRANS, check it for milky too.
