Co-workers 2004 overheating

i LIKE THIS CHOICE. Running hot I bet its the termostat.

To take it a step furter.. This is a temp fix/troubleshoot. And cost the cost of antifreeze.. I would take out the termostat. put back together (minus the termostat). does it still run hot? If so its not the termostat. If it runs cool then it was.. Then if not.. I would look at other things. Maybe water pump not performing well..

Good point. I will attempt to explain that one again to them.

Okay I'll throw in my two cents since I've experienced overheating issues on both my 4 cyl YJ and my 6 cyl KJ.

My YJ developed an overheating problem after I replaced the water pump. After trying everything but "snake oil" including replacing the water pump a second time I discovered that the $10 thermostat was bad. Now I replace the cheapest thing first.

My KJ used to overheat whenever I was in 4WD in the summer. That problem was diagnosed as a defective electric rad fan. I replaced it with a junkyard find. A new one from the dealer can cost up to $300.

Just this fall I had an experience with mud clogging up my rad. Yet another cheap fix, I thoroughly washed out the rad.

I hope you haven't tried the "snake oil" or any other potion that promises to seal leaks. You'll likely plug up that new rad.

Bite the bullet and take the Jeep back to a dealership or a rad shop where professionals can diagnose & fix the problem.
