I had a leak so I replaced the heater hose that is connected to the thermostat housing. Now the jeep overheats. I can't make it across town without the idiot light coming on. As soon as the light comes on I blast the heater and it will go off. My first thought was that I had trapped air in the cooling system. But since I have an open system it should self burp and this should not be a problem right? I did park up hill and run the jeep with the heater on and without a radiator cap, filling the radiator as the level went down. Some air seemed to come out but it didn't help the problem. I read about burping by removing the temp sending unit, but that is only needed on closed systems right? So what do you think happened? Suggestions? Thank you.
