Re: 1999 Cherokee overheating?
[quote=Stant52]HI Guys,
I Checked top radiator hose & it wasn't hot! So I removed thermostat t it with the thermostat out & the hoses disconnected and NO water flows though!!
This certainly sounds like the water pump is not working. If the head gasket is cracked it will not really run at all and you certainly would not be able to drive it that way. I would replace that pump and the thermostat and back flush the block and the radiator real good. Make sure you get a good flow of fresh water through the block and the radiator. Change the radiator cap too. I don't beleive it's a blown head gasket. Water pumps usually leak before they go bad, but not always.
