  • takes for ever to heat up

    hey guys another question for ya... when i start my jeep it takes a while to warm up like the heat inside the jeep it takes like 10 min of driving and i notice that my thermostat goes above 210 for a lil bit n then drops back down to normal temp.... and when i get out u can smell antifreeze a little bit... do i need a new radiator?

    check for leaks. if there is oxidation or its wet or both around the water pump or the thermostat housing it is leaking.

      well i change the thermostat about las month or so and it still climbed a little above 210 and when i open the hood the radiator steams a little bit in the corner by where the hose connects on the top of the radiator

        alrighty so today was fun... drove to work and when i shut my jeep off i heard all the antifreeze boiling over... almost all the antifreeze boiled out so i put a new thermostat in and flushed the system... it seems like its running good now but the temp still goes up and comes down a lil bit... what could make the temp vary like it does... it goes a needle above 210 and drops down again
