On the way to a campground today my 99 XJ overheated leaving me and my family stranded on the interstate. My camper is a small pop up that weighs less than 2k pounds. However the camper and XJ were fully loaded with gear for two adults and two children. This was our first trip in the new camper, the XJ didn't overheat when we picked up the camper, but we weren't loaded up.
Luckily it happened close to home and we were able to have someone come get the wife and kids, then the wife came back with our minivan and I put all the gear in the van. The XJ did fine on the way home with all the gear out of it.
Any guesses on what it could be? I recently have replaced the thermostat and flushed the cooling system for reference. Could it be the water pump is crapping out?
