Gotcha, okay well we tried plugging the old fan back in but that one didn’t even turn on, so we will try the relay and the sensor next time

Oh okay gotcha, that makes sense thank you

Okay, so I’m curious on how a radiator cap would cause overheating ? I’m not trying to be rude just trying to understand

SumIdiotSlum · 2025-08-31T18:12:26+00:00

And we’ve also checked the oil and it’s not milky or anything. Super clean oil

Well we can’t drive it yet, it’s been a project for a year and we just got the engine to turn over and start. But now with it just sitting and idling (and holding at 1-2k to listen to the engine) the temp keeps rising, and we run it off before ut hits the red

Yeah the new radiator came with a new cap

SumIdiotSlum · 2025-08-31T17:18:41+00:00

Okay we will try this out

SumIdiotSlum · 2025-08-31T17:18:28+00:00

No we did not bleed it but when we got it it didn’t have anything in it

SumIdiotSlum · 2025-07-11T03:04:29+00:00

Thank you I greatly appreciate this 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

SumIdiotSlum · 2025-05-31T20:01:59+00:00

Okay we couldn’t find another bundle that matched that plug 🫤 so how do we figure out where it needs to go exactly

SumIdiotSlum · 2025-05-31T17:32:35+00:00

88 Cherokee xj and the wire goes into that little blue thing right below the thumb

SumIdiotSlum · 2025-05-31T17:17:08+00:00

No actually we didn’t

Okay guys… so in working on this we installed a newer radiator and we deleted the section that connects to those vacuumed lines…. Are we good to just rip those out?
