when I did mine I put it nose down (pointed it down hill)filled the bottle.Turned the heater on hot started the jeep let it idle till it came up to temp watching the level in the bottle.Check to make sure the upper radiator hose gets hot.If it doesn't there is still a bubble,which causes the t-stat not to open.whats happening is the hot water is just going through the head not into the radiator,thats why its boiling over through the bottle.

 

anyone know how to figure out how much back spacing a rim has?

 

Measure from the inside mounting surface of the rim to the outer most lip of the rim. Like so:

 

thnx, would you off hand know what the stock metal five stars for the cherokee are i have crappy aluminum ones and want something steel until i buy good ones. and can get the set for 50 bucks

 

I'm pretty sure all stock cherokee wheels except maybe the upcountry package, have 5.25" B.S.

 

Can I do it if my heater isn't working?

 

Yes, running the heat just helps the motor heat up faster.

 

I thought running the heater pulls heat off the motor and into the cab?

 

The engine has to be hot before heat can be pulled off of the engine doesn't it?

 

you need the heater control vavle open in order to in sure you have no air pockets in the heater core. If you dont open it and there is an air pocket the next time you open it it could just put that air in the engine.

 

My problems are over I ordered the aluminum bottle from macs radiator and it works great, I ran my jeep drove to town and back with not a single problem. I'm so freaking happy

I need to do a valve cover gasket but i cant get myself to buy a $40 gasket.

Could i just use RTV instead or do i still need the grommets?

i searched around but nobody ever really gave a definite answer as to if i needed the grommets

 

Im looking for a tj wind jammer for my xj, nothing great is needed. Although black is preferred. Can anyone help me find one on the cheap?

 

Is there, or should there be an electrical only area? Seems like it would make it easier to find common electrical issues and fixes. Or is this a horrible idea?
