An XJ that has me stumped???????


Red Hudfab XJ went to another shop yesterday(All American 4x4, used to be All American Jeep Specialist). I have replaced and tested EVERYTHING, and it still heats up!

Hopefully they can get it figured out. They have been specializing in Jeeps for over 20 years. If they cant figure it out, I dont really know who can!!!!

They were pretty baffled when I wrote the novel of things I have replaced or ruled out. I got a "This should be a fun one!" from the main tech.

My poor XJ needs some attention soon!...Still need to figure out why it heats up. Doesnt do it as bad with the coolant flow restricted, but I would like to actually fix it. Sounds like a 5.3L may be in the works this winter......

I am 190% sure that bypassing the heater core and valve ruled that one out. Plus, zero loss of coolant. It opens and closes as it should when installed.

If its not there, how could it be the prob? Get what Im sayin? Every tech I have talked to agrees.....

Just about any trail as long as you have common sense. Pack in pack out. Even left hand. Just have to go up the trail a ways.

Alright, could be a fuel injector on that cylinder. That's where I'd look next.
