Jeep troubles

(1/4) > >>

Tsalagi:
My Jeep Cherokee blew a head gasket last week. Real fun where we were, too.  ::) It spent a week in the shop, and guess what happened when I drove it home tonight? It redlined and boiled over. Looks like it'll be a while before I can get out to shoot bow, collect pinyon sap, or what-not because I want it gone over with a microscopic-toothed comb this time. Not happy!!!  >:( Oh, and it's snowing again. Charming.

nugget:
Cherokees and any jeep product with a 4.0 6cyl are notorious for overheating. They are bad to get an air pocket in the engine when coolant is being put in.

mullet:
 A lot of times someone will put the fluid in before the 195 thermostat opens up. I turn the heater on and let it run for a while, then check the water again.

boo:
if you want to email me kellerknives@yahoo.com ill tell you how to bleed the air out of the system. I spent three months battling the same problem after my daughters jeep done the same thing. .

sailordad:
the best to make sure all air is out of the system is to use a "radkit" to refill the cooling system
