88 Renix 5 speed closed system

Replaced the hoses, coolant, radiator, housing, and im running with no thermostat (Arizona is really hot, dont see much cold around here). No water is going through the top rad hose and im not leaking any fluid. Electric fan is not coming on either. Any ideas?

 

My guess is you have a air pocket in the radiator or its clogged. I'd say look up on Google how to "burp" the closed cooling system.

There should be flow through all the hoses if your system is in good working order.

 

coolant flowing out of top hose on pressure bottle? Does fan come on when ac is on?

 

Radiator is brand new I just put it on right now im thinking it might be my water pump.

 

If i leave the cap off with the engine running sometimes coolant will burp out but I didnt even pour a whole gallon of coolant and my pressure bottle is full so it looks like coolant is not circulating.

 

remove top hose from rad and fill then hook back up are are hoses from bottle clogged maybe
?

 

not clogged just ran a screwdriver through them and pinched around no signs of a clog in hoses.

 

fill thru top hose then see if circulation starts

 

fill from the rad side or the housing side of hose?

 

both

 

thanks ill try that tomorrow, working the night shift tonight. This is really grinding my gears man cant believe shes giving me problems right now.

 

Its ok IV got a conpletly new cooling system and mine still runs about the 210* mark.


Upgraded to open cooling system
Zj clutch fan
New water pump
New thermostat
New Rad cap
New 3 core Rad
All new hoses
Heater core bypassed

And the AZ heat is still beating.my Jeep up.

 

I would think 210 is about where it's going to run in Arizona/El Paso heat with a 195 stat.

 

The thing is it creeps up higher and higher aas I drive. If I drive more than 10 miles with outside temp 110-114* it runs the line before red.

 

I also did the Hood spacers on the back brackets. Did a 1" lift of the Hood and still runs warm.
