Great news, I finally had time to troubleshoot. I topped off the coolant, jumped the battery and watched as the temp climbed. I noticed coolant leaking down the thermostat housing, but realized it was coming from the upper rad hose, so I waited for it to cool down and adjusted the hose further...

Did you find the problem? I’ve had very similar issues the last two times I’ve driven my TJ.

Update: I went out of town right after I posted, got back last night, so when I got ready to leave for work this morning I checked the coolant and it was a little low, so I topped it off and put the cap back on. I drove to work and then back home with no issues. It’s about. 15-20 minutes...

Gauge well into the red and climbing almost maxed out, small amount of coolant spattered out of the cap and dried before I got it open. Was squeaky clean around the radiator.

Yesterday, my 2004 TJ overheated on me. I turned it off and waited until it cooled down and drive home with the heater on. Super fun in 100+ degree heat wave. When I got home I popped the hood again and let it run without the ac on and it did great keeping the temp constant. Then I turned on...

Is Ryan Mauzy on here or does anyone know him? Just looking for confirmation that I can reasonably trust the guy.

Way past time for an update. I dropped the kid off at college earlier this month :cry:. It was bittersweet, but I'm super proud of him. He'll be earning a bachelor's degree and playing football for Lake Forest in Illinois. He got a great scholarship, the most they offer, but it's still...

It lists 97-04 Wrangler 4.0 as well as 05-06 Wranglers 2.4 & 4.0. I don't see the part of the page you took your screenshot from there at all any longer. Maybe the problem was resolved?

Picked up the Harbor freight version of this gadget. Makes burping your rad super easy. I got in the rest of my parts, so I replaced the idler pulley, tensioner, belt and burped the radiator using my new gadget. All is well. Thanks for the help.

So yesterday I finished overhauling the cooling system in my TJ. The only thing that was wrong was the radiator had barely started leaking. I didn’t even need to top it off often, maybe once a week. But I don’t like to wait for things to breakdown while I’m on the road, so I figured I’d...

The uppers are OEM

Sweet! Thanks

About 18 miles on surface streets. Probably 45 minutes going under 40 so I’m less likely to activate DW. Think they’d be willing even though I already have the parts?

I tried the Moog K3128 and it had little dimples inside that make it too small to fit the bolt through, then after finding it in another thread, I tried Moog K3166 and it's smooth inside, but the sleeve is too small for my bolt. Does anyone have another part number? I'm wondering if Jeep put a...

Anyone know a mobile welder who doesn't mind tight spaces? I need my rockjock front axle housing johnny joint kit passenger side welded on my LJ. I'm happy to pay for quality work. I'm in East Mesa just outside Eastmark and my jeep is in an air conditioned shop in my backyard. I could put...
