UPDATE!!! so put in new thermostat and no issues no overheating or leaking that I see.. for a few days...then while running around stop at gas station for coffee get back in jeep its all rough idly and hesitant...then I get code for cylinders 3&4 barely runs wants to die so I disconnect...
So he actually DID put it thru the radiator :) but the thermostat should have came out from what I'm hearing...is that why it only overheated when driving it but not when it idled for Hal an hour??
SO I stupidly let my friend help me...he "knows what to do" i have since realized he didn't follow the directions on the bottle and put it right I my coolant tank! So what do i do now? Rinse it out? My next question...a few days later I let it run for 30 minutes...no smoke no overheat no...
So it pretty much starts right up and from what I think I know yes it's a cast iron and I hear they are hard to crack...but since it took me 3 weeks to figure out the issue it got so hot it died in the middle of the road...which is severe enough I feel it's actually possible...*super sad face*
The only code I'm throwing is p0152 which makes sense because it's directly below the resovoir overflow air vent which has been spewing all over it for two weeks sogot a new one I will put in tomorrow and then see how it drives *crossing fingers, toes, and EVERYTHING crossable*
So after few weeks of overheating @#$%... I finally found the problem...the coolant resovoir hoses were backwards...now my jeep doesn't want to start but will after a few tries, barely, and will drop idle to .5 very shaky if I accelerate it is smooth (in prk) quick test drive fluids pouring out...
