Hey guys I have a 95 Cherokee sport and for some reason when my jeep gets up to temp and I turn it off coolant sprays out of the lower rad hose and I can't figure out why. I replaced the hose and it still does it. What could be the problem too much pressure?

Did you use new clamps and tighten them properly? Does it spray out of the hose itself or where the clamps are, on the ends?

Well, If it's spraying out of the hose it's self then you need to change the hose. But like Firestorm500 said if it's coming from the connections you may need to tighten the hose clamps.

hose clamps are tight i checked and its a new hose. do you think my rad could be clogged causing a lot of pressure when the motor turns off or could i have had to much coolant in there?

Check to see if your rad cap is bad, preventing pressure from excaping. I have had some problems from hell with mine due to a bad cap over a year ago.

Check and see if by any chance that you are leaking from your water pump. when the water pump starts to go out there is a little plug that pops. It's a weep hole that has a seal that lets you know that your pump is on it's way out.

Are you absolutely sure it is coming from the hose? Clamps sufficiently tight? Leaks can be difficult to isolate. And yes, that weep hole on the water pump is a place to definitely check.

Does the Jeep overheat? Higher than 230-235 degrees?

jeep doesnt over heat it will never go over 210 and water pump was changed a few months ago. the rad cap is also new and i put a new lower rad hose on the radiator where i definately so it leaking from. it seems like it builds up too much pressure. it only does it once in a while like it happened once today after i thought the new hose that i replaced a couple days ago would have fixed the problem. its really wierd i turn off my jeep and like here spraying in front and im like how?!?! im so sick of these cooling problems on my jeep almost everything on the cooling system is new

Is there a minor crack in the lower hose fitting on the radiator?

Firestorm500

X2. That was going to be my next question. That's probably what it is.

I just replaced the radiator in a '97 Chevy pickup 5.7 liter because of a cracked radiator side tank, just below the inlet on the top hose.

Plastic tanks were an awesome invention, weren't they.
Just replaced them (cracked) in my DW's impala and kid's Saturn.

It must be a GM thing. I had to replace one in my Eldorado due to a cracked side tank, at the inlet. The car was just 5 years old at the time.

My Ford and Honda stuff seems to be OK.
