First off search feature won't work for me since I do not have a 4.0 anymore. 88 with a 318 swap.
My 318 overheats in no time. Just idle it boils over about 20 seconds after the Tstat opens. The upper hose gets warm but the rad stays cold. Dual 11" fans don't make a difference. It has the stock rad it in with the closed system. I got the upper vent hose for the bottle in the top most point of the system which is the upper hose for the rad. The lower hose for the bottle is in heater core line. I'm running the stock trans cooler and the extra one from the Grand cherokee that everything came out of. I got a brand new from napa 3 row rad and 180 t stat for the 318 (which isn't installed just bought today). I got the stock 4.0 gauge working with the stock temp sensor from the 318 seems to be right when it hits the red and boiling already.
Is my problem because the old rad is being to restritive of flow?
Pic after getting the motor in. The vent hose is in the splice of the upper hose which wasn't completed in that pic.
