alrighty my jeeps been leaking anti freeze and the top radiator hose busted under pressure could this be due to the thermostat?

 

If you have to replace the upper hose, replace the thermostat. 195 degree. Do yourself a favor and buy it directly from your Jeep dealer for the best reliability and temp control. Stats don't last forever.......

 

well i did replace the thermostat just 30 mins ago and it seems to be doing fine. im just asking because i wanted to make sure it wasent my water pump

 

Was it a new hose that busted? If not it could have been just a bad hose.

 

was an old hose but it leaked before the hose broke?

 

If the water pump is new, chances are it's not. Newer, well maintained components usually perform reliably....old components fail/cause problems.

 

its an old water pump but its not leaking after i changed the thermostat? but the temp gauge reads like 205 degrees but i dont trust the gauges
