#7 of 12 Replaced radiator - need to bleed system by iriah Jan 22, 2009 (8:37 pm)
There was a leak in the radiator of our 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport, so my son replaced it. He also replaced the upper and lower rad hoses as "insurance." The upper one was clogged with rust. Now he needs to know the location of the bleeder screw to finish up. This is an in-line six, with Auto transmission. Many thanks
#8 of 12 HELP! 2000 Jeep just dumped fluid - bought 200m ago by cbrandon1118 Jan 23, 2009 (5:08 pm)
I hope someone here can give me some advice. I know NOTHING about car mechanics and I'm sick of car repairmen (and salesmen) cheating me.   I bought a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 45k mile (yes, that's right) three days ago. Had them change the timing belt at the dealer before I took it. Have driven it 200 miles. Pulled in the driveway just now and fluid (I think it is coolant) pouring out from under the front.   Of course, dealer now closed and I'm without a car until Monday or Tuesday.   Any ideas would be helpful. I've read on other sites that the water pump should have been changed when they changed the timing belt. Would that cause all the fluids to pour out?   HELP!

Replying to: cbrandon1118 (Jan 23, 2009 5:08 pm) The best thing to do is call the dealer that installed the timing chain maybe they damaged the raditor when the were working on the front of the engine. Either way it sounds like a dealer screw up and they should take care of it for you.
#10 of 12 2001 Grand Cherokee overheats after new radiator. by ja4ha Jul 03, 2009 (9:18 pm)
Never overheated before replacing with new radiator (old was leaking) and new thermostat. I was told about air pockets so I install Prestone Reverse Flush Kit. Did not work. Changed the cap to higher pressure but it still filled the tank.   Don't know what else to do besides the water pump. But either it works or don't...doesn't it? I don't want to remove the pump only to find nothing's wrong with it. Should I replace the pump or should I donate the truck. Replies to this message: jeepsrgreat (Jul 29, 2009 5:29 am)

Replying to: ja4ha (Jul 03, 2009 9:18 pm) Sounds like my jeep had a leak in the radiator,changed water pump,changed radiator, changed thermostat, and had radaitor cap checked. Bleed cooling system. Still ran hot. Removed thermostat still ran hot, The temp sensor was not completely bad, but it was reading off. My jeep was running 212. Changed senor runs 204 now. Also check and make sure your cooling system holds the correct pressure. If it was ran low on fluid it could of damaged your water pump.
#12 of 12 1999 Jeep GC overheating by tooltime Oct 03, 2009 (3:39 pm)
Wondering if there's a way to access the fan relay without dropping the entire front bumper? Can you cut a hole somewhere behind the headlight area? I have the fan jumpered right now. Its always on... I'd really like to do it right but last time the relay died it cost me $600/labor the part is only about $28.... Any tips about getting to that relay? Thanks
