I replaced the lower radiator hose today and filled it back up with antifreeze. Jeep is still getting slightly hot. Any suggestions??

 

Did you try "burping" the system?

 

Run it with the cap off and the heat on high. Once you feel good heat cap it and turn the heat off. That usually gets the air out ov it

 

Done anything else to the cooling system?

 

1. What do you mean by "slightly hot?". The devil is in the details. Any suspect temps should be confirmed with an infrared point and shoot thermometer pointed directly at the thermostat housing of a hot engine.

2. What is the history of cooling system maintenance on this vehicle? Radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan clutch, coolant changes, etc.

 

No I haven't. What's the easiest way to burp it?

 

Just run the jeep with the rad cap off and keep topping it off while all the air bubbles come out

 

Ya we suggest more details .....

 

Thanks for the help everyone. Come to find out I had a bad connection on my electric fan. Running like a champ now.

 

i also have a 98 cherokee classic with an overheat issue. i replaced the thermostat, fan clutch and water pump but the temp still creeps up to about 200-210. what should i be looking at to fix this issue?

 

I know this is a month old, but 200-210 is normal
