coolant

I’m new to Jeeps and cars in general. Just bought a 2000 wrangler sport and i noticed yesterday it is pretty low on coolant. The problem is that I don’t know what type of coolant is in there currently. It’s green but from what I understand green can’t always mix with green. Or can it? I really...

I have a 99, 4.0 TJ with 120,000 on it. Past owner is gone and I have almost no past info. Coolant overflow bottle was clogged with red/orange gunk and totally discolored that color. Radiator was gunked up some, but not terrible. I drainer the radiator and the coolant was red/orange after I...

Prior to our Colorado trip I flushed my coolant and installed a new stant thermostat, temperature sender and cap. We drove the tj over 1000 miles to SW Colorado without issue. We have ran over 500 miles jeeping. Yesterday Morning I went to town and after about 5 miles I had an eng light. I...

So I've done some research on a heater core replacement and am fully aware of what it entails, but just wanted to get an opinion first before I disassemble the whole dash. My upper coolant hose had a leak, so I replaced it and "burped" the air out of the radiator and everything seemed fine...

Hey guys, so I have a 2005 TJ and I noticed a problem when I was driving back from a wedding in Savannah, GA. About an hour and a half into my drive back, I noticed that my temp gauge was spiking to "Check Gauges" so I pulled off immediately to find that there was smoke coming from the engine...

Okay, so let me start by saying I don't know much about fixing cars, but consider myself handy and want to learn more about fixing them, and having a 4x4 is fun. Two weeks ago I picked up a 5-speed 1999 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.0L 6 cylinder engine with the intent to work on it. The previous owner...

Hello all, That title wasn't phrased very well, but in essence I'm trying to figure out what part(s) I need to replace for my leaking transmission oil system. The leak is happening right at the side of the oil tank below the radiator. This is the only picture I have on hand right now: It's...

hello all, is this a radiator leak? I assume it is. How long do I have before radiator is considered shot? Should I replace now, or within a month or two? I have a very small bead of coolant under radiator, it's dropped maybe a drop or two a day max. As one can see, bottom of radiator is wet...

The myth There's a huge myth out there that's been making rounds on the Internet probably since the Internet first started. Go to almost any car forum out there, and you'll find a slew of members who like to push the idea that making your engine run cooler is a good thing. Often times they'll...

Losing my hair from scratching my head! Although Stinger does not have a jeep engine anymore the general principles remain the same. There is a smell of anti freeze when I turn the heater on. Although my A/C is not yet reconnected to the system when I switch to any of the A/C functions the...

Not that I really need a heater now but mine is Luke warm. Good flow with both hoses hot and blend door is closing what am I missing? Do a reverse flush? 98 TJ Sport.

Parts Needed You should always, always, always use an OE Mopar radiator when replacing your radiator. They will last longer than any radiator out there, guaranteed. The radiator you need will depend on what year, engine, and transmission your Jeep Wrangler TJ is. See this thread for a breakdown...
