Is anything in the area of replacement getting unreasonably hot after a short run?

Other questions regarding software updates are good ones, just harder for you to get to the bottom of that on your own.

Was anything else done at the same time out of courtesy.

Don't want to insult your intelligence, are you doing tank to tank refills to calculate your mileage?
I will have to pull out the repair invoice but the main pulley and a smaller one were replaced plus a new serpentine belt.
Don't know why they came off though, but dust and mud may have been the culprit. being a jkur....it gets used

I asked jeep who fixed it, was there anything accidentally that they touched that caused it.
took it back for a 2nd time and they checked everything and it was fine.

Although ever since I got it, it tends to heat up to 112 degrees or 114 degrees (on trails) but always comes back down to low 100s or under.
But other than that nothing gets extra hot that I've noticed.

Tried 4 tanks and same shit, all different fuels.
98, 95, 91 and e10.
