rapid overheating

<< < (6/7) > >>

jkseries:
Brilliant thanks.

The water leak seems to be coming from behind the water pump.  There is another cover that is weeping. Off to see my not so helpful parts counter in the morning.

Now to find a new rad.

Thanks for all the help.

Disco_Dennis:
If it's leaking between the water pump & block change the P gasket. 

Use a metal one, not a cheapo composite or card one!

jkseries:
Nope it's further back than that.

The water pump bolts to and through another plate before it reaches the block.  I can't see it on the rave.

I guess I'll just ask at the counter

I bet it's the water pump housing.

jkseries:
The new rad is on and cooling nicely thanks.

The thing that did occur to me was that there seems to be lots of places for air to get trapped in the system.

Has anyone found a cunning way of creating a new 'highest point' for all the air to sit in so it can be bled off?

Just wondering

mattyme:
park your truck facing uphill on the steepest hill you can find and take the bleed plug out then. any air should find its way to the highest part.... the bleed plug.

with a bit of luck!! lol
