This "Jeep thing" is like dating a really really hot chick, who is crazy! Its alot of fun, you spend too much money, your up all night ending up sweaty & greasy from it, your friends are jealous, you get admission into some sort of weird club... but it gets mad at your for no reason, throws fits seemingly randomly, has unexplained issues which it somehow solves on its own only after you try a bunch of different things (and spend a bunch of money) to solve it... and yet you can't resist getting in it every chance you can.
I have had my jeep for 2 months, it was overheating, so I back-flushed the heater core (heat was weak), flushed the rad, changed thermostat (on the side of the highway, in the rain), and changed the waterpump. The heat was awesome, and I thought my issues were over. Then the heat got weak again... and it overheated this morning on the highway. It seems I am losing coolant somewhere... but can't find a leak (just got some dye to try), and there's no white smoke. And now, ofcourse, randomly, the heat is amazing.
Tomorrow I am going to replace every hose which wasn't replaced last time, pressure test the system, and hope I can find a leak somewhere.
I do love the jeep, but as the saying goes, no matter how hot that chick is, there's some guy somewhere who is sick of her ****!
