My situation is that my 99 XJ was overheating and had the radiator flushed and had multiple issues after doing so. I I was still overheating, blew a lower hose and had no heat. I know, I could have done it myself, but I didn't and I am paying for it. I left it with someone who checked out Jeep and said he didn't see any signs of an engine problem, seal leaks, etc. so he thought that the old radiator must be clogged due to the flush and together we decided to replace it. Also put in a 180* t-stat for good measure. I learned quickly that the inside heat isn't as hot with the new t-stat and started to discover that it would ony blow warm air while on the move. At idle, it was barely luke warm. Now this morning, I only get the luke warm air. I guess I am lucky in that it was warm enough to melt the frost on the windshield, but it will be rough when there is ice on there. I'm at a loss and I've already pumped more money into this than I should have. I'm worried that my heater core is shot.
