Default Help... still over heating...

So i need some ideas... my jeep is still blowing anti freeze out of the over flow when it gets hot?? have changed everything.... idk if a air bubble in the system would cause this or what? cuz thats what i think it has to be. Any ideas will be really appreciated.. and also since i have a s***ty idiot light for my temp gauge...i was going to get a real gauge at like o'riellys or something so where would i plug that into? cuz arent they mechanical? thanks

Have u tried a new rad cap and verfied overheat temp with a infrared temp gun? Rad cap raises coolant boiling point.

I own an 87 Cherokee. I had the same problem. They seem to get air bound and overheat. I had to ride it, check it, add anti freeze, ride it, check it , add ant freeze etc. etc.

ya changed radiator hoses, radiator is 2 years old, new water pump new radiator cap new thermostat... flushed the system and put new anti freeze in it, but than a hose blew the next day! which really pissed me off, than i added more anti freeze and i think there has to be an air buble in the system
