Re: Overheating

Usually when these cherokee's start overheating its due to a bad fan clutch, non opening thermostat or a plugged radiator (usually plugged rad), if you can do the work youself the usual cost is around $125.00 if both need repaired. Autopart stores carry the clutch unit for around $40.00 and a good radiator shop should only charge around $80.00 or less for a Rod and Repair. Change the theromostat when you drain and refill the system saves having to do it later. Most of the cherokees I have seen have 2 fans one on the engine and a second electric fan for the A/C or when the Temp gets above 220*. Hope this helps
good luck
