1996XJSPORT---- Im sure your engine is fine. I overheated mine when the water pump blew up, throwing the belt off, and causing the old stock radiator to spring a leak. That was 8 months ago or so, on an almost 200k motor. your best thing is just to keep an eye on it and look for the head gasket to go if anything. these motors can take a beating!!!

Wow... half of these posts are like children picking on one another. Seriously. Mistakes are mistakes. You learn from them. No need to bash anyone's certifications or anything.

My advice:

Watch the engine. Keep any eye out for milky oil, coolant loss, etc. that signal a bad HG

Don't let anyone touch your engine lol

Repair that temp gauge or at least pick one up from Autozone.. just anything to give you a reading.

Give a quick go over for your cooling system and make sure nothing else is leaking.

Ok please tell me where you see a water temp gauge? I'm pretty sure cluster only has dummy lights. Educate yourself before you speak.

Overheated, should I be worried? This thread is certifiable.

1996XJSport

Yeah should I be worried about anything major? Well good news because the answer is no. I put new coolant in and now it runs like a champ. I know that 4.0s overheat a lot anyway so i wasnt too scared at the fact of what happened. I just wanted to know what to look out for and I can only think of one person that acually helped me with the issue. Thanks for nothing.

Think the young lady deserves an apology, don't u?

Your list of dodads in your sig is awesome, thought about including a temp sending unit?

1996XJSport

She doesn't deserve an apology noticing I had to spend $25 on new coolant. as for the sending unit, I actually have it sitting still in its box in my bedroom along with the oil pressure sending unit. I've been waiting for my next oil change to do it so I don't have to drain all of my oil for nothing lol

djb383

3 certificates and u think u'll have to drain all your oil before u install the pressure sending unit????????? Only if u change the pressure sending unit while the motor's running. Oh by the way, don't change the temp sending unit with the motor running either.

1996XJSport

I don't touch anything in my engine bay while the motor is running. You will lose oil when you install the pressure sending unit.... I don't know what you're trying to accomplish here but whatever it is, you need to stop. End of story.

.......including the tranny dipstick when checking the fluid.......right?

1996XJSport

besides that and burping the cooling system of course.

No4x4Yet

All the oil will be in pan when the engine is off. You can change sensor with out loosing an oil.

djb383

Party pooper.LOL

1996XJSport

Thank you so much! I didn't know exactly what would happen if I went and swapped sensors so I put it off just to avoid the risk of losing oil. I'll go and do the swap asap
