cooling and axle problems
 

my 1996 jeep Cherokee has a problem with the heat and the hose that leaves the block in the front is leaking alot does anyone know what its called so i can look for a new one and a price...then my rear axle is torn to $h!t i am looking for the best price i can find for a new rear drum break axle thank you so much:cheers:

it was the water control valve that connects to the heater core...it was gushing coolant when i popped the hood and i wasn't sure if mabie the hose is just loose or mabie its cracked...is this a common problem?

Yes, that valve gets brittle and breaks. You can run without it, but coolant will continuously flow through heater core, versus being regulated by heater controls.

On front of block and screwed into waterpump is the 'water pump inlet tube'.

im trying to figure out if its a loose hose or a broken water control valve
