I picked up 2 gallons of Zerex G-05 yesterday. I feel like taking on this flushing task is really daunting, but I think that is just because I have very little experience working with cooling systems. I just have to tell myself this is an opportunity to learn! Good thing I don't really need to...
Hey guys, thanks for all the replies so far!
I drained the system by pulling the lower rad hose this evening. The draincock drain only dribbled, so I guess it is clogged up. I took the upper rad hose off to have a look and the inside of the radiator looks like it has been flushed with orange...
The coolant was orange. When I bought it I had the shop across the street do a drain and fill and they used Prestone orange (Dexcool OAT). I bought some more of this Prestone to refill after I install the new thermostat and bleeder screw. I just picked those two parts up from the dealer a few...

Thanks so much Liberty-TC! That is a great collection of tips. Sorry, I should have posted the year! 2002 I do have the owner's manual, the '02 FSM, and the '03 parts list (couldn't find '02 parts guide). I have not yet changed the thermostat or lower rad hose yet. I'll order those up today. My...
Hi guys,
First post here! I recently bought a $1000 KJ as my first 4x4 and she's a bit rough around the edges! I was looking for a nice XJ, but of course finding a 2-door manual that isn't wrecked is impossible and the KJ was definitely in my budget. Also, who doesn't like a project?! Oh, and I...
