HELP new radiator> overheating
i just reaplced the water pump, fan clutch is good, thermostat was wide open. what could be makeing my zj overheat???? the new radiator is all metal 3-row too which should make the thing run cooler. would air in the system cause it to completely overheat?? when i change the waterpump i had air bubbles so the heat would rise and then fall. what could it be guys?
and the radiator was extremly hot so i guess something is flowing |

Does the lower rad. hose have the spring inside? If not, it can collapse at speed, blocking flow... ah nuts, forget it. I just went out and checked mine; there's no spring inside! Hmmmm.....

Yeah! sometimes it takes a few heating and cooling cycles to purge the air out of the system so make sure the level of coolant in the overflow bottle is always over the minimum mark.
