    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    I ran water through the heater hoses and got about a 1/4 cup of this black muddy crud out. I took all the hoses off, and the t-stat cover and ran water through the head and out the water pump pushing a .25" hose with a bit of water pressure as deep into the head as I safely could. I did the same...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    No stop leak added, ever. The rad is new. It was installed in March. Simply installing this filter isn't really doing the trick. Even with review the engine. It's really got to be review and bouncing around to get this stuff churning up off the bottom of where ever it's stuck to. It really...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    I don't know if this is the problem but I'm sure it's not helping- I took the rad cap off today and noticed some black dust looking stuff. Kinda like the residuals from a black garden hose washer. Anyways, this was sitting around the lip where the rad cap seal sits. I stuck my finger down in...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    I didnt have a chance to take it out today like I wanted. I wanted to get it up on some steep inclines maybe rocks or something, and try to see if I could work some air out of the system. I have flushed and flushed over the last few weeks. I took out the t stat, hooked a hose to the top heater...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    It seems like each time I take it out it performs a little bit better. I do still have the stock water pump and t-stat housing. A friend is telling me he thinks I still have too much air in the system. I burped it with the left front elevated about 12-18 inches. Maybe I can take it out and...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    You all make a lot of sense. I have considered replacing the radiator. I thought this Flexalite top end radiator would at least come close to matching the hype. I was on the east coast prior to coming off of active duty. I had this jeep in the shop getting the radiator swapped while I was...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    My mistake. I didnt add the part about the blocks in chronological order. It was added as I was trying to remember the help and advice given from each of you. and make sure I replied regarding each. The blocks were taken out after I got home. I didnt notice any difference with them out while...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    It is not full time 4x. I do have a 16 lb cap I pulled the blocks from the hood hinges. It didnt seem to make a difference either way with cooling so I will probably keep them off. This is really becoming frustrating. I drove about ten miles this morning on a flat road doing about 50 MPH...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    I was told the exact opposite. I was told it would allow air to flow through the radiator easier by allowing it to pass through the radiator and having a place to exit the engine compartment other than down, much like louvers. I will try that next. It only takes a few minutes to remove those...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    I will try holding a higher RPM at about 35MPH and see what happens. I do have a t-stat in place. I had a 195' and just to see what would happen I swapped it with a 180'. I do see a difference. It simply starts cooling sooner. I tested a couple 195s and both didnt start opening until about...

    New cooling system overheating on the highway

    The original radiator was was due for replacement. Many collapsed fins, corrosion, etc so I opted to replace. Considering I was going to be relocating to a much hotter area I went with the Flexalite with the three e-fans. Motor is stock with the exception of the Hesco hi flow water pump...

    Is there a way to run the VIN to see factory options?

    Take the vin to your local dealership. They can give you a four to five page print out of its status at the time of original sale
