What about your lower rad. hose???


Also have you flushed it?

 

definately check the lower rad hose. also you should really flush the block if you haven't already. I had replaced every part in the cooling system and was still running hot. I flushed for about a week and my temp stays level at 200-210 on a hot day of 110* outside in heavy traffic.

 

Ok I agree with you about flushing the block that is the only thing I didn't do yet. But you say flush it for about a week not sure what you mean about a week. 2. thats a lot a new gal of anitfreeze don't you think and a little expensines.

 

You know better Frank

 

thanks for that info. What the flush kit like prestone kit. Is ok to use.

 

Yes.

 

I used the Prestone flush kit and replaced my Thermo with a 160 for the summer then took the spring on the clutch fan and turned it one turn counter clockwise and my jeep runs at no higher than 210 at idle in traffic all the time. With the air on it runs even cooler...Tj

 

ok i guess i will ask again! Do you have a spring in your lower radiator hose

 

My lower radiator hose look ok not sure if I need one.

 

It may look ok from the outside but that doesnt matter. squeze the hose and see if there is a spring in it. this is another step in the troubleshooting tree. if it is good then you can rule that out and move on to the next probable cause.

 

Are you loosing any coolant? Not boiling over but just disappearing?

Other than the temp gauge, are there other signs of it overheating? Have you checked the temp gauge?

 

Yes the lower hose has a spring in it and I squeze it and it seem fine. Also Iam not loosing any coolant? and its Not boiling over.

 

Hello guys. I had it with this jeep Iam gone junk it or put it for sale. I have done everthing and still having the same problem. what else is there to do. Please help.

 

have you flushed it yet? you need to run the Jeep with the flush in it for a couple hundred miles. have you been able to do this. I know this can be a frustrating process but its worth it to get your Jeep back up and runnin.

 

Not sure what you mean with the flush kit in for a couple hundred miles. Is there some kind of clemcial that I need to used. please explain. Thanks
