Heating problems...again!
2004 jeep grand cherokee. 4.7L. 93,000
Thermostat, Radiator & radiator cap replaced whithin 1 year.
I've bled the cooling system twice & the problem went away, but air continues to enter it. I'm constantly bleeding it.
There's a water sloshing/bubbly sound inside my passanger side dashboard (don't know if that's what's causing my jeep to overheat)
Bubble sound increases when I step on gas.
I'm thinking of draining & refilling my radiator?
Any help will do!
Thanks a Million!!!

Seems to be a common problem, I read a lot of posts on the sloshing sound. Best and most effective I found was to raise the front of the jeep up, my drive way was slanted enough, so the rad cap is higher that the rest, let the car run for 30 secs or so without the cap on, then top up the coolant. Do this a couple of times until your happy the air has recapped through the open rad cap.
Seemed to work for me, nearly forgot, also check the core/frist plugs. Mine had a small leak. I think that might have been the source of the air getting in
Cheers
