Re: Jeep Cherokee overheating

If you think there is air in the system, pull the front wheels up on some ramps, then let it idle while watching the fill neck on the radiator. If there is air, it will burp it and you can add coolant.
After it gets hot, with the engine off, can you feel the radiator and see if its hot also? Feel the core in several places. With the rad cap off, is it circulating coolant? When the thermostat opens, you should feel coolant being pumped through the hoses.
