bought one at the Napa off 70th and York, they had 5 left. Only place in town other than the dealer where i could find one. And its half as much as the dealer wants. so if anybody else needs one, 50 bucks at Napa. For those impatient people like me who dont want to wait for quadratec to ship...

I need a coolant overflow/pressyre tank and cap for an XJ with the closed cooling system. (pre-91). Doesnt have to be new, just needs to hold pressure, ie: cap must tighten down nice and tight. Prefferable in Denver area. thanks pm or call anthony at 303-518-2069

Alright, well i think ive narrowed my problem down to the dang bottle/cap. I've had them crap out on me like a total of 3 times already, the cap not tightening that is. But which part exactly is crapping out? Is it the bottle or the cap that is making it so it wont tighten? I'm guessing its the...

I just bought the tank and the cap new off ebay like 3 weeks ago, it held nice and tight up until today when it spewed again. But now when i go to tighten the cap, it'll get semi-tight and then re-loosen again. So i have to start to tighten it and stop before it loosens itself again.

ya, just got back from driving it around. Let the temp get up to like 210, stayed put. I saw the thermostat open as the coolant dropped below 210, kinda hovered around there. I park it, get out, coolant is boiling outta the tank again. WHAT THE FUC*!!! Please tell me i just have to replace this...

hey thanks a lot man. Only thing im worried about now is that cap not holding pressure, i can get it snug but if i try to tighten it down all the way, it re-loosens itself, so i have to stop tightening towards teh bottom. Anyway, i pulled the ssensor, added coolant until it came out of the...

Sweet thanks for lettin me know, i didnt know that. Well anyway, i just pulled the temp sensor, nothin, i didnt hear any escaping air at all. And i JUST replaced the cap and bottle before doing all this, and now that it spewed again, the fu*kin cap wont stay tight again...

Ya thats what some other guys on jeepforum are recommending me do as well. No i diddnt drill the hole, i should have, but there is no way im goin back in there to do it now, haha. One question though, you said to slowly fill it with coolant till it starts coming outta the temp sensor hole, but...

AHHH, i always thought the full line was that big line that goes around the entire tank, about half way up. Well anyway, i parked it and took the cap off while it overflowed a little bit of the coolant (not a LOT, but not a little either), and i just left the cap off and came inside to ask you...

Alright well i finally got the belt off, replaced the thermostat. filled it up with coolant through one of the hoses, i think the upper radiator hose, the one where i have the do it urself flush t-fitting. I filled it through there until coolant started coming out of the other larger hose that...

ya, i could only find one more bolt on the back of the steering pump

sweet thanks, i'll go try and find those now

I want to change out the thermostat on my 90 XJ cuz its been a couple years and i've gotten the top bolt off of the thermostat housing, easy enough, but the bottom bolt is hidden behind the serpentine belt. I cant get a socket in there for the life of me without taking off the belt or at least...

Yup, my crappy cooling system crapped out on me again and i need a new overflow tank but would like to avoid the expensive ass cost the dealership is asking.

nope i dont have cruise control. And exactly how many lines should there be? the only ones i messed with were the two going in/out of the vaccum canister....are there more?
