So jeep was overheating while my gf was driving it a couple days ago found out it was a hole in the heat hose replaced the hoses and started the jeep up was running fine not overheating in idle for about 10 min then took it for a drive and it slowly started overheating until around 210 where it just died started it back up took it home and white smoke was coming from the engine...
White smoke? Coolant is getting in the cylinder and the white smoke is really steam. Sounds like you have a blown head gasket. Bad news is that it needs to be replaced...good news is that the inline 6 cylinder engine is one of the easier head gaskets to replace. I've never replaced a head gasket but did it on my Cherokee just three months ago. If you tag your parts and pay attention how they are taken off you can do it. The other option is to replace the engine as they are pretty cheap to get. Good luck.
