The last time this happened was like 4 years ago, and I changed out my original radiator and I was fine.
This time I was just sitting parked and all of a sudden the temp gauge went almost into the red. I started driving and got on the highway and it overheated while I was driving 65 mph.
Here is the condition of the jeep :
I flushed and changed the thermostat with a stant 4 months ago.
The fan clutch seems ok. the auxiliary fan is working.
The water pump is around 3 years old and not leaking.
The Radiator was replaced around 4 + years ago.
oil change done recently.
Here is what happened. I have not been having any problems with the temperature at all, it has been staying right in the middle where it is supposed to be until today.
When it overheated I could not get any heat to come out the vents, I thought by turning the heat on full blast I could cool it down a bit.
But not one bit of hot air would come out, I am wondering if my heater core is clogged. Why with the engine so hot was I not able to get any hot air in the car. That seems weird to me.
I had it towed to my house and started it up, and it is running fine. But the temp started climbing so a turned it off.
I guess I pull out the thermostat just for giggles. any help would be appreciated.
