99 Grand Overheats, looses coolant
My 99 4.0 I-6 just started overheating when I was driving one day. 2 months before i installed a new water pump and the thermostat is working. when i got home the coolant resevoir was empty. The engine has 190,000 miles. I was wondering if the problem could be the head gasket, and also if i was driving and the temp guage redlined three times( i pulled over immediatly and let it cool down) if there could be any other damage to the other engine components, like the pistons. Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I was just wondering what ended up being your problem after you put pressure on it? Headgasket?

I actually had a small hole in my radiator so fluid wouldn't leak unless I was driving so I never saw anything underneath the car. I replaced the radiator and no problems since.
