Piwer steering hose in the jeep wasnt all that bad. Can see the fittings at least.
The wife and i talked about letting the 40 acres go. No reason to hang on to it. In 10 years he may not be interested in buying it. And this will pretty much debt free in 10 years. Unless i do something stupid. As always the wheels are turning…
Charley just gave the wife a scare. He is such a clown.

Morning everyone. mid 80s here today. Waiting on a call back, may have found a set of lenses for the DeSoto in Denver. Gona hurt though, $250 for the pair. Need more coffee.

Well now I’m totally stumped. Shop called, it is still overheating and did it on them as well. But all the tests came back good, it’s holding 17.8 PSI, it’s flowing. It’s not got any gasses or foreign material in the coolant, his compression tests and leak down tests numbers were identical to mine. Fan relay and fans operating per specs. Radiator is flowing air across all 9 check points .
That's a stumper for sure.

He flushed the block again, just to see if he could get anything to come out, nothing. I’d done it twice with the same result.

All that handled by the ecm, to which he said is showing no faults. 2008 wrangler btw
Rad. If there is zero combustion gas in coolant then its rad. Pop top and bottom hoses and block bottom hose. Fill rad and see how fast it drops water out. Or inspection camera in through lower rad hose.

This is a jeep rad that i replaced and cut tanks off. I explored every option. Rad was plugged top to bottom.

Drove it. It’s fine as it’s moving, but sit at stop sign or stop light or drive thru, anytime it’s stopped and the temps skyrocket.

Thanks, radiator is brand new, I replaced it earlier this week after it was suggested.

I figgered fer sure they would find cylinder farts in the radiator.
New cap? (sounds like what a bad cap can do)

Yep. New everything but a heater core. Guess I’ll try that
It shouldn't cause a problem. Block it off by pinching the hoses off to test.
