overheating everytime change hose-'90 jeep cheroke 4x4
everytime i change the the hoses going into the thermastate, it starts to
overheat, i put more coolant in it, but it continues to over heat, the last time i replaced the thermastat, it continued to over heat for a while then i let it sit for a while then it seemed to fix it self, yesterday i had a pin hole in one of the bypass hose, i replaced the hose and then it started to overheat again, is there something i am missing, or something i am doing wrong, when i refill the coolant, |

Have you changed your coolant every two years? If not two things come to
mind first the impeller on the water pump is shot due to acid build up by not changing your coolant and the other is your radiator or engine block is clogged and needs a chemical flush or you could have both problems. Even though the manufacturers of antifreeze tought 2-5 years of use I have seen acids build up at 1.5 years use test strips and check every 3 months. http://store.yahoo.com/tri-maxx2000/noname5.html -- Coasty Remove the SPOOGE to reply "glacial" > wrote in message lkaboutautos.com... > everytime i change the the hoses going into the thermastate, it starts to > overheat, i put more coolant in it, but it continues to over heat, the > last time i replaced the thermastat, it continued to over heat for a while > then i let it sit for a while then it seemed to fix it self, yesterday i > had a pin hole in one of the bypass hose, i replaced the hose and then it > started to overheat again, is there something i am missing, or something i > am doing wrong, when i refill the coolant, > |

Wouldn't be a bad idea to replace the thermostat while you are at it. If the thermostat doesn't have a "burp" hole in the top you need to either drill one or go get a thermostat that DOES have the hole (and make sure the hole is on top).
