Hello everyone,
I am working on replacing the original radiator in my TJ. I am very new to doing any sort of work on my car (cars in general not just mine). I have drained the radiator and removed the fan shroud and removed all but one hose from the radiator I intend to replace. I have no idea...
Hello everyone,
my radiator recently went kaput. i've decided to replace it myself as it looks relatively simple. My father was the original owner and he put an extra cooler thing for the transmission in front of the radiator. Pictured here:
My concern is with how it is held in place. Which is...
My OE radiator cracked on the way home last night. Picked a new one this morning to replace it.
pulled the old one out, unboxed the new one and noticed that the new one had additional lines and included fittings that my old one does not(pics).
Cant seem to find any clarification online, as...
I am selling this radiator that I bought when I thought I needed to do a complete cooling overhaul! Trying to make space in the closet so I am listing it here for $350.
Never took it out of the box, let me know if you would like pictures and I can open it up.
The following parts are from a 2000 TJ 4.0, Manual, 110,000 miles when removed. All parts were in great working order when removed, and stored in garage. If you have any questions, let me know. These parts are located in Eastern Washington and OBO. If you need an item shipped we can discuss...
Just got my jeep about 6 months ago, and ever since I got it it would overheat in idle when the A/C is on, when the A/C is off it will still overheat but only after strenuous drives on hot days. I just replaced my water pump and thermostat and the problem still happens, I've flushed. my radiator...
Hello everybody, today I had an issue with my 2006 Jeep TJ. I started it up and attempted to put on the vent fans. I got no response, no noise, nothing and then smoke started to come out of the vents. Over the past few months I’ve noticed 2 things: faint antifreeze smell after driving and a...
I have an 06 LJ. I am the furthest thing from a car connoisseur.
All things considered, the car has been incredibly decent once I installed the new PCM; still thinking of selling it related to the chaos I endured prior to that with anxiety that it can still return.
When the car idles for...
So my radiator had a minor leak at the drain petcock/plug. Its plastic. I decided to drain the radiator and flush it. Then replace the drain plug. Easy fix. Well when I went to put in the new plug, the retaining piece of the old plug got pushed into the bottom of the radiator when I was...
Went to run errands the other day and when I got out noticed coolant was leaking from the plastic petcock on the lower passenger side of the radiator. Turned it to the right to tighten it but noticed it was fairly loose, but stopped the leak. Finally got around to working on it and the freaking...
I’ve had a problem with my 2000 Jeep Tj 2.5l overheating when I turn off the ignition.
When I’m idling, revved up to high rpms, on the interstate, or any other situation where it’s turned on, I have zero issues with overheating. It stays right under the middle 210 mark (so maybe around 180-190)...
Hey Everyone,
New to the forum and 1st post. I have read this for a few years and it has come in helpful many times. So I Thank all you for that. That being said, I am a little stuck on this issue I am having. The PO of my 98 TJ used worm clamps on the upper hose to the radiator and decided...
I'm trying to track down a very slow coolant leak so I got a pressure tester loaner from AutoZone (Powerbuilt Loaner Pressure Tester Adapters, part 940427T, link). Like some of the reviews warned, it doesn't have an adapter that fits my MOPAR radiator. The closest universal adapter popped out...
So long story short i think the clutch on my fan is worn out. instead of replacing the clutch i was thinking of moving to an electric fan, thinking it may be better at low speed and also helps to reduce the parasitic drag of the fan.
Has anyone switched to an electric fan? any noticeable...
Hey, has anyone had the cooling system replaced by a shop? I'm going to ask for an estimate and wondering what kind of price to expect. I'm talking about replacing radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, and a complete coolant flush. Plus whatever else I might not know about that should be...
I have had an intermittent leak in my radiator for a while now. Sometimes it happens regularly, sometimes it doesn’t happen for weeks at a time.
The leak manifests itself in showing antifreeze pooling in the bottom of the radiator shroud. If it’s leaking and the engine is running, I also...
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...
Another day, another fix! Hope this one is easy. There appears to be a small leak coming from the bottom radiator hose. A drop falls once every 7 seconds or so and I've had to refill the coolant reservoir.
I assume the seal where the bottom radiator hose connects to the radiator is shot. Am I...
