1988 XJ 4.0. 88k miles. Stock. can you believe it? anyways had it at a muffler shop getting a new cat put on, he ended up "finding" a hole in my radiator, and it never leaked before... so i said okay he fixed it and it was done. and he put a new thermostat in for free..get it home, go to big bear for 3 days and come home to find every drop of antifreeze on my driveway.. still dripping out of the Draincok, so i go to 3 autoparts stores and none of the threads are right on the draincock, so i fill up the coolant bottle (closed loop) and run it thinking when it gets to 195 the coolant will flow, its on for about 2 mins and i check the temp and the guage is skyrocketing up and i stopped it at about 250. thermostat never opened... idk what to do! thermostat broken? water pump? thanks alot any advice welcome
