Mid-Illini Jeepers

Unluckily enough my rear diff was gone. I ended up just towing it and paying to get it fixed because that's out of my wheelhouse. Got my Jeep back last Monday and surprisingly there's a lot of sounds that aren't there anymore haha. Driving great so far other than the little no heat situation 😂 Jeeps...

It's been going on for a while but I have just been putting it off and mainly driving my second vehicle. After your post I drained the coolant again and pulled th...

Thanks for the reply Larry. It's definitely coming from the lower hose where it connects to the block. I changed out the radiator originally because I thought just that but it was still leaking. Realized after that it was from the lower hose but after changing that and now examining the old hose it ...

Hey all,

I changed my lower radiator hose on my 98 the because it was leaking, but the leak hasn't stopped. Can someone recommend somewhere I can take it that won't cost me a fortune. Or someone willing to give me a hand. It's driving me crazy and I need this thing back on the road. Thanks
