My jeep seems to be consuming the water that I have to add to it every 3-4 days... Its not leaving any puddles in parking spots and on the 3rd or 4th day it starts running hot right up next the the red and itll take over a gallon straight into the radiator to fill it back up. It runs at or below the 210 mark after being filled but then its low... Where is it going? I have a 1996 cherokee SE 4.0 HO with approx 144k miles on the motor and 124 on everything else.
Water pump has 25k miles
thermostat has 25k miles
upper hose is about 9 months old
lower hose has the spring inside and is about 14 months old
Heater control vlve was replaced 2 weeks ago do to a cracked hose fitting
