Weird thing this morning driving to work, the gauge on my 96 Cherokee shows 260 degrees, but no heat was coming from the heater with blower on full. Both fans go on and the hoses are really hot but the radiator didn't feel warm at all. Let it cool and checked the radiator and fluid is full????

 

thermostat stuck

 

I thought it would boil over but didn't.

 

Yikes, took it to the local shop and no fluid in the radiator or overflow tank...have no idea where or when it went.

 

still check the tstat

 

Cannot figure where the fluid went, how would the thrstat affect this? Briefly looked at it at the shop tonight when I left it and the thrstat was HOT.

 

i can pretty well guarantee you that your tsat is shot, if its not let me know ill mail you a check for the 10 bucks

 

OOoops...a bit more than we thought. The Thermostat is gone, water pump, and the radiator is full of crud.

 

check your oil... make sure it didnt run away and hide in there...

 

They checked the oil and all looks ok there.
