I have a 90 4.0 with the awesome closed system coolant system.:banghead: it overheated a few weeks ago. i ended up getting a new coolant tank and thermostat. filled it up, and good to go. went out the following week and had no issues. well, i hit the road on the way to the park today, and the temp gauge starts climbing. gets to about 220 or so and i pulled over and shut it down. the tank was boiling and pissing fluid out through the cap. so i let it cool, filled it back up and headed to the store to get some water just in case. it ran about 210 all the way there, and when i parked it, i heard the boiling again. let it cool, took the thermostat out and filled it back up. it ran about 170-180 all day today. no overheating. then on the way home, the gauge started climbing again. WTF? get home, yup, the tank is boiling again and the tank is leaking again. flushed the radiator and took the AC condenser out just to let more air into the radiator. i havent taken it out since then.
so, whats the damn deal? should i just look for a used radiator and tank from an open system rig and convert or is there a solution for my problem??
