still in the shop, waiting on parts, looks like my exhaust manifold and cat are bad as well. My bill is quickly approaching $1k.

Here's something else that's awesome- my front sway-bar quick disconnect lost a nut on the passenger side, no idea when it happened, got home, it was hanging down, and the nut was gone. Gonna have to find another nut... and some lock washers so it doesn't happen again. On the plus side- got my new front skid all sanded down for primer and bed liner!

Welcome, we'll let you know

So finally have all my exhaust and cooling issues done. Radiator is good, just not getting enough air pulling thru at low speeds and idle. So im going to override the ac fan to come on with a switch. Other than that I should be good to go.

Here's a few pics

I'm having issues now. Temp light comes on a lot. Drive around town a little, and God forbid it sits with the AC on for ant length of time..

What did you figure out? I'm thinking I'll flush rad, and replace mix.. Check hoses etc..

Well I checked the radiator and it's fairly new. And I just did the freeze plugs so the coolant has been flushed. I just get to hot when it sits. So it's my fans. I don't really run the ac cause it needs to be converted. So I'm going to override and have the ac fan act as a second fan.

Yeah I got that rising temp issue while sitting. Its a cherokee thing. I might be taking off the clutch driven fan and putting on dual electric fans.

Yea that woils fix my issue for sure but with the money I just dropped on my completely new exhaust/cat/headers it will have to wait a bit. Next is to get my rear fender some touch up welds and bumper/winch up front
