88 Jeep Comanche cooling issues
I found a whack of them on eBay for $27 US ($30 Canadian), but nothing in

88 Jeep Comanche cooling issues
I've had nothing but grief with Canadian Tire, and their local parts

88 Jeep Comanche cooling issues
Huh. I figured it should be circulating on a regular basis.
Thanks for your input, both you and Mike. I took it into the shop for an

88 Jeep Comanche cooling issues
I'm watching the coolant flow as it comes into the bottle (taking off the

So we had a really hot day here awhile ago, and I ended up overheating my
