Currently sitting on the side of rt78, jeep is boiling coolant out of the overflow. Nice! Any ideas what's wrong with it

head gasket

is it coming out of the overflow bottle or just bubbleing in it, might just have air, but head gasket sounds cooler

Literally boiling out of the resivior. I don't think its the headgasket because I didn't loose any coolant, I opened the cap it was still full and the oil is not milky at all. It cooled back down and I'm driving it again.

lol um thats not good, what did you do to it?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

boiling coolant isn't a good sign, if you just had air then it would be slow bubbles, but overflowing means it obviously overheated pretty good

I would have stopped if i knew it was overheating, the gauge read slightly above 210, then all of a sudden shot up to like 260, i immediately pulled over, let it cool down, drove another five miles, pulled over, no boiling, did that twice more.

Heres the awesome part, as i was driving down 78, the hood latch relased and flew up, cracked the cowl nicely, and put some new sweet dents on my hood, then looked down and saw my radiator cap was gone, got pissed smahed the jeep with a ball pin hammer.

150 dollars later i was home with my jeep on a tow truck.

Heres a video.

couldn't listen to the sound due to two small children but that's pretty good distance you're getting from the boil, never had that happen.

My uncle's 99 did that. He needed a new water pump. Looking at the color of the fluid boiling out I would suggest doing rad hoses, rad, WP, and T-stat, along with flushing the block.

Ive never even gotten close to overheating, until today obviously, right before it happened i turned 80,000 miles.

I also saw two naxja members fly by me on 78, i dont know screennames though.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

might have been a spur of the moment thing but your gauge could have been bad for a bit, mine read wrong right out of the box saying it was running hot all the time

I plan on everything above, plus all sensors. On a good note the jeep performed awesome at rocktoberfest.
