So the engine heats up and the thermostat closes... Restricting the water in the radiator and cooling the water...
 
But not cooling the block, it's only cooling the coolant.

NO the engine heats up and the stat. opens
 
But not cooling the block, it's only cooling the coolant.
And if the thermostat is properly installed, it's reading the block water temp and regulating the coolant flow for the block, not the radiator...

Because I read your "typo" post... :D

Let's just say we agree to disagree?

I'm back had to eat a hambuger and a :beer:
Don't give up EB, the pump pumps the water out of the block to quick to cool it once the stat opens.
It takes a few miles but it finaly catches up and overheats on the highway. At least mine does, on the trails it's fine.( high flow pump) With a reg. pump it's fine on the highway but runs on the hot side on the trails.
 
I'm back too. I was booted off the computer by my better half. She claims I'm "addicted" to this forum.

Hi my name is elwood, and I'm addicted to jeep-cj.com :D

See, I told you, now I have proof!!! :laugh:
 
See what you made me do CJ? I had to prove how big of a nerd I am.
 
Thanks EB because of that I needed some :beer: to make my head stop hurting :p.



:laugh: Alright, here's another one on me. Because finding it in the mountain of tech and training manuals I have saved on my computer gave me a headache too :chug:
 
I don't know what you're talking about, you started this mess...
 
Things I have learned. When your water pump leaks, the seal is gone, and a rubber band aint gonna make it feel better. A high flow pump on a stock engine / cooling system made my engines run hot. And if I can do it, I love cheap stock parts! I'm a carpenter, so I never over think anything, I just fix :dung: and move on. And so, I will leave you eggheads to argue amongst yourselves as to why. :p
 
Nope I agree if broke fix it, if it ain't broke don't fix it and drive the :dung: out of it until it is.......
