im takeing a poll on how to fix the cooling sys
first of all i want to thank yall for all yer input and info.
so $ not withstanding(i dont care about spending on my jeep as long as is a good upgrade)
do i go the cheap rt and replace the leaky *** closed sys tank
when i did seem to have it fixed it still boiled over as i shut it off
was this because the closed sys couldent hold pressure with a leaky tank?
or
since ive replaced every thing but the rad get it over with n replace the rad with a 91 and and make it n open system?

Closed system will boil if there are any leaks. Just convert it to an open system. You can get a new 2 core all metal radiator and a jy water valve and hoses and have the whole thing done for about 200 bucks.

Go to summit racing and buy the in-line radiator fill and put it in the upper hose, put in an over flow bottle and heat valve and remove the other old parts.
Best thing I have done yet!
