1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo SE Straight V6 4.0L 4x4
My Jeep has recently had overheating problems, therefore my spouse and I
have changed the thermostat, radiator, water pump, spark plugs, and all hoses, battery. It is running rough and vibrating still and will not stay running. The vents are blowing cold air when the controls are set for hot, even after the car has warmed up. The engine light does not come on, we've even tried the computer code reader and it says everything passes. I can't figure for the life of me what else is wrong. Can someone give any suggestions? Thank You, Gor595Gee |

I've heard on this NG about being careful when replacing water-pumps as
the 4.0L has a reverse-spinning pump..? Can someone else confirm this? If you had overheating problems, maybe you've warped the head, and have a gasket leak? Are the oil & coolant still their natural colors? |

I'm no mechanic but it sounds like maybe your heater core could be clogged. |

It sounds like your heater core or the line going to it may be blocked for
one thing. This could explain why the car is running hot and the vents are blowing cold air when the controls are set for hot. I don't know if that could be causing the engine to run rough and vibrate though. When was the last time you flushed the system?

The spark plugs are all fine. We still can't figure it out. Thanks

We flushed the system before we did the work, the line is not blocked, we
are going to check the heater core tomorrow. |

We have the water pump that says "R". We also have noticed air coming from
a certain part of the heads, and I do see some oil leakage, I will try that as well (change the head gaskets), but the heads are fine, no clanking noise (Pistons) while we let it run for 1/2 hour. Thanks |
