Engine Cooling problem
1987 Jeep Cherokee 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual

so I have a 87 jeep cherokee cheif and its being a pain in the ass. The jeep is overheating. When it first started I assumed it was an easy fix like the thermostat. so I started with the easy stuff like the thermostat. that didnt work so I went down the line on the cooling system. went and replaced the waterpump, fan clutch. The cooling system is one of those stupid ones were the overflow tank is where you fill up the radiator, so when it overheats it bubbles out the overflow tank. So back to what I've replaced radiator, put an electric fan in, new fan shroud, found out the head was cracked. So got a new one of those. thought all that would fix my problem, but it didnt. dont know what else to do.

See my profile. I have seen some stupid stuff, maybe you will too,

Is your Belt Routed Correctly?.....If it is routed over the waterpump WRONG, it will turn BACKWARDS,

Thus we have, NO PUMPY WATER or no water circulate, G.I.
