Radiator had a very small leak, about 50ml-100ml per trip i was filling it about once a week. then i went 4wding and it split the radiator more, then driving home it dropped all its water and the heat sensor didn't move off 100deg.
I blame the wife, if they didnt complain so much when we spend money on our Jeeps i would of just chucked a new radiator in it.

I thought they didn't come around till 2002 models ? mmmmm any hoo list goes on ,

when the newer engine went in i changed plugs and oil i haven't done trans fluid. tyre pressures seem ok, and the thermo hasn't been locked on with a screw to lock it up.

At one point it was discovered even the relay/solenoid that triggers the fan was not available separately but someone found a Ford item that could be made to work without too much drama. Could it be that the solenoid is stuffed and not actually the fan.

When i was in Tasmania going up to Alpine steep drives it started over heating and on the first one it went to the red zone (at least it still had water albeit hot). I have had it over heat in Adelaide since also.
