Well I installed the new radiator this weekend.

Took the front end off just to see how everything looked.


unhooked the lower hose so I could drain the system and this is what came out


id say it was due for a change. Flushed it installed the temp gauge, Installed a new overflow tank and filled it with new coolant. After I checked for leaks I drove it home. The gauge never went over 100 so I knew that it wasnt working right. Got home and messed around with the gauge a bit and then let the jeep run for a bit to see if the gauge would go up and nothing. I have the sensor installed in my upper radiator hose with one of these.


I let it run for about 10 mins and then turned it off. I installed a new thermostat since its been a few years since i changed it let it run again for a bit longer to see if the gauge would work and then this happened when i turned off the jeep.

(dont mind all the wires it was only temporary while I was trying to get the gauge to work)
when i filled the system with coolant it was inbetween min and max level on the bottle. When i took the picture it was completely full and some of it was coming out.

I have no idea whats going on with it and why its still overheating even tho ive changed the radiator, thermostat, overflow bottle and did a system flush. any one have any advice?

 

My hood spacers came in today so while I was on lunch I went ahead and installed them.




I think it looks good!(time for new paint tho)Now that hot engine air can go out the back!
Im trying to decide if I want to keep the green paint or maybe spray the top half red.

 

My new Autometer gauge finally came in got it installed and the jeep is running at 210!


Finally fixed my overheating problem. Next on the list is a complete overhaul. Going to get new leafs for the rear, new paint on the top half of the jeep. Not sure what color to go with yet. Going to get some small parts from the JY to and then last but not least going to get a new crate motor for it. Really excited for the new motor. More updates soon!

 

Well I've had the Jeep for 4 years now so thought I'd show a before and after picture.

The top picture is when I first painted it green and the bottom picture is what it looks like today.
