Keeps overheating changed water pump in it worked for few hours than the same as it was
I would vote for a new temp control sensor. Make sure the water pump is circulating. Sometimes the impellers have rotted or fallen off. I had it happen on a Isuzu Trooper. Had to replace w/pump.
Hi ytabaja97,
Sounds like the thermostat on the hose that goes to the top of the motor is stuck closed, or does not open completely. Try replacing the thermostat. Make sure it is correct for your Jeep, and that the seals on the thermostat housing are replaced correctly.
Hope you have no more overheating problems.
Hi Micheal
The problem as i more describe is that i have in the radiator 2 hoses one is at the lower part of the engine and one u can see at the surface. When i touch them to see if they are hot, the one at the lower level of the engine is very cold while the one up is so hot. I am not an expert but i think the water isn,t circulating and i have changed the water pump by the way
Hi ytabaja97,
Hi ytabaja97, try the thermostat. You can take it out and place it in boiling water to see if it opens fully. Also you may need to have the radiator checked as the core can become blocked over a period of time. If it becomes choked, it can present the same symptoms you are describing. Having replaced the water pump has eliminated this as the cause of the problem. Hope this helps and you can find the cause from what I have described. If not, give more details please. It is hard to fully diagnose without seeing the vehicle.

dodge tends to run at about 200dg. i have a 97 with a 318 and this hs been its normal temp since it was new . if it is truly over heating and if the warepump is bad you shoul see water leaking from the bottom of pump . hope this is helpfull
SOURCE: water is not circulating in radiator. Engine is running hot.
sounds like the thermostat. the thermostat lets the water flow from the block to the top of the radiator.

The same thing happened with my 01 cavalier. My dad replaced the thermostat and it did the same thing. Then he discovered that there is something called a temperature control sensor that had to be replaced because when the thermostat froze open, it destroyed the sensor. It was a lot cheaper than any of the other parts and once it was replaced, it worked fine.

Probably not water pump. Engine is notourious for vapour lock.
Cooling system must be blead of air before thermostat will work. Cool bottom rad hose is a dead give away. If you are still watching this forum reply , and I will walk you through the only way I know how to make it work properly. It's actually easy if you do it my way. I have worked on lots of cars , and this engine was the hardest to bleed out. Did one Yesterday , and works perfect.

the water pump and thermostat should have solved it. an air pocket can cause that but usually not to that degree.
don't get one of those cheap *** plastic impeller water pump for sissies. Get the metal impeller one. get a cool running thermostat and drill two 3/16" holes in it 180 degreess from each other. you may have installed the t-stat backwards.

Overheating can seriously damage a car's engine if left unchecked. Although overheating simply means that a car's engine temperature exceeds normal operating temperatures, the causes of overheating are varied. What follows is a brief list of some of the most common causes of engine overheating.
