Reviving an old CJ7

My son said it was 195-200.
I couldn't get it over 200 driving up hill after refilling it.
Just weird. When it was overheating before it would get 230 in a matter of 10minutes

Well, if it isn't still happening, maybe there was some kind air bubble causing a block and it finally burp itself out and big time. :crazyeyes:
 
Should have done this a while ago...
But checked the diff fluid and lots of water in the front diff.
