I changed everything else listed in the forums over the past two years trying to resolve this too common problem on my 2010 Patriot. I finally decided the soup can might be clogged somehow and changed it as the absolute last ditch effort to get some use out of what has been our around town car since driving it more than 30 minutes it would go into limp mode. First test drive was over 1.5 hours with zero problems. I am slowly taking it on longer trips and beginning to finally trust it a little more. I believe since so few people ever change the small filter in the soup can, it gets so dirty that the can itself gets clogged. I finally came to this conclusion after adding a finned cooler to the system. When it still overheated, I grabbed the cooler lines trying to see if any were hot or cold. To my surprise, both were ice cold which led me to believe the oil was not getting past the soup can to get to the radiator or my new auxiliary cooler. I can't believe anyone has figured this out before now. Hopefully this is a permanent fix as mine now has the pan with drain plug and an auxiliary cooler. Adding that cooler adds one extra quart of fluid which should help also. I hope this info helps a lot of you guys struggling with this issue. This has been one of my biggest challenges, and I have been working on my own stuff for more than 35 years.
