Now that it's cold enough, I've been running with the heater on in the mornings. It blows cold when I'm at a standstill and warms up when I'm in motion. WTH?

And make sure to purge any and all air from the system, or you may have the same problem once you've solved the low coolant issue.

I've got a hole in the radiator. Anything I should know about radiators before I buy one?

Get one from the dealer or you will be replacing it twice. Seriously.

From what I've seen on here, this is true.

The cooling system runs at 16 psi.

From what I've gathered, the aftermarkets can only handle 14 psi. Therefore they crack fairly quickly. Whether this is true or the reason, I don't know, it's just what I've seen on here and LostJeeps.

You have 2 choices both about the same cost by a dealer radiator or replace the radiator with an all aluminum radiator sold on ebay.

The shop I work in has accounts with the dealers in the area. We work on all makes and models. I should be able to save some money over what my mechanic is telling me it'll cost. I'll put it in a jar and wait till it adds up to some nice black wheels...

Hi Folks.....my "02 Limited's heater is barely getting warm....temp gauge is dead center and she has no coolant smell or wanting to overheat....just not getting heat. Hope you can advise me. I can change the direction of the air flow ok....floor, top, both, etc. so I hope it isn't the diverter mech.

Thanks
