cooling system cherokee 5.7 problem
« on: June 09, 2013 - 07:45:34 AM »
my neighbour has a nice cherokee 5.7hemi. It`s got a strange overheating problem ever since he removed the radiator cap/ bleed cap   :dunno:
One moment good temp and the next the fan kicks in and the upper rad hose collapses and temp shoots up. After a little while the hose filles again and temps drop like a brick to normal.  My guess is it`s got air in the cooling system, but why did this happen after removing the cap, and how do you get the air out?  The jeep has 12000 mls on it.
