1998 Jeep Laredo Check Gauge Light

I recently noticed that my check gauge light is
staying on with the vehicle running. I am having
the temperature gauge maximizing out as well.
I notice smoke coming from the engine after it
has been running now as well. Can you help me
with these problems. Thanks.[/quote:d748b035a0]
That s an indication that your truck is overheating
check coolant level and adjust if needed
check thermostat
you also need to check the coolant system for leak
most common is the fan relay
not working so fans not operating to cool down the engine
you should not allow your truck temp to get that high or engine damage will occur
good luck
let me know
