My 96 Sport is running hot, and threatens to go to the red but cools down a hair with the fans and driving really fast. It still runs hot while I'm driving, but it doesn't threaten anymore. I attempted to flush it, but it didn't do anything except break something with my heater and now I have no heat.
When I had the hoses off to flush it out, there was rust lining the hoses, rust caked into the thermostat housing (new thermostat, a lot of good it's doing), and I took the reservoir off to wash and scrub the rust sludge out of the bottom. Do I need to just replace all of the hoses and take the radiator to a good shop and see if it's plugged up?
And most importantly, can someone point me in the right direction to get a better, more detailed manual? I've got a Haynes for Cherokee 84-2001 and it's only helpful for certain things, but mostly not.
