Jeep is over heating. I replaced the thermastat, still over heating.
10 months ago, I replaced the water pump. Fyi

Not sure what to look at next before looking into replaceing water heater again

Could be the radiator clogged-up or air in the system-if not get it block and pressure tested. To find out more.

I took the radiator cap off and ran it. It got to 110 degrees, the fan kicked on and it stayed there, even cooled off a little. I then put the cap back on and the reserve got sucked dry and all seems to be OK now. I have added more to the reserve.

Thanks, it helped.
