My Lord! That sounds like some of the crap I've gone through.....a pat on the back for not demolishing your Jeep. Luckily, San Antone has quite a few good bars....you've earned it. :dizzy:

BTW: Thanks for the warnings on the radiator R + R.

Yeahhhup my radiator is wrecked. It's cracked as well in the same place, upper driver's side corner. Probably ordering one from radiatorbarn.com. I'm decent at most of my work on my jeep, but with all the hoses and fluids, should i just let a shop do the work?

Well, that was fun…. :banghead:


So that was my adventure with radiator replacement (or "How Not to Save Money Doing Your Own Repairs"). I've never had so many issues working on a vehicle. I guess it just wasn't my day. That and my brain went on vacation apparently. Hopefully the R&P replacement will go better!


I feel for ya man.
I personally turned wrenches for 10 years, but that ended 15 years ago.
I nursed a leaker for 2-3 months, but too many days in a row of single digit
weather blew that plastic out. Found a price for rad installed, asked my wife,
DONE. I could have saved money doing it myself,
summer, yes, but not the middle of winter, with no garage. Too much headache. :dizzy:
