I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler and wanted to know how to change the radiator and water pump. how long will it take?

Not a job for a novice. There are several panels that must be removed from this Jeep to extract the radiator and several components to be removed from front of engine to extract water pump...If you are not depending on this for sole transportation then there is a way to learn. Buy a Chilton's or Haynes manual on the vehicle. It is a repair guide written for the laymen that includes pictures. It is a bumper to bumper guide for complete and total tear down and rebuild of the entire vehicle divided into specific sections easy to define.



If it is your sole transportation, shell out the money and save yourself a whole lot of aggravation.I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler and wanted to know how to change the radiator and water pump. how long will it take?Not to sure on a wrangler but I do know. There is no radiator that is going to take 30 minutes. You always have to take out more then what you expect and just be prepared to be there for a few hours. Grab you a book at autozone or somewhere like that on your vehicle. Them books are life savers.I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler and wanted to know how to change the radiator and water pump. how long will it take?radiator 20 minutes maybe

few bolts two hoses

water pump couple three hours

i did a rad in my dads old new yorker... took about 20-25 minutes, including draining and refilling the antifreezeI have a 98 Jeep Wrangler and wanted to know how to change the radiator and water pump. how long will it take?It's not too bad. The fan shroud is a bit of a pain, but the radiator is only two hoses and 4 bolts. At that point the pump should be fairly easy to get to. I would advise you to replace the thermostat while you are in there.I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler and wanted to know how to change the radiator and water pump. how long will it take?Honestly I let a 16 year old change mine out in my 99 wrangler, and he had never been under the hood of a car. It took him about an hour to do it by himself, but we made sure he had someone who knew what they were doing supervising. Took a little longer than normal because the adult didn't assist just made sure it was done right. It was a learning experience. I will warn you make sure you get a radiator with a warranty, I replaced my factory one and within a year it blew the top seal, that's why he had to change it in order to borrow it for the weekend.

    Why will my radiator take only about 1 litre or so of coolant?

    The shop that worked on my clutch said they would change the radiator coolant for me - only drained a bit out, just thought it was low. When they went to add more in, it would only take just over a liter.

    What is going on and how is it fixed?Why will my radiator take only about 1 litre or so of coolant?YOU HAVE TO WARM UP THE ENGINE SO THE THERMOSTAT OPENS UP SO YOU CAN FILL THE ENGINE BLOCK AND HEAD(S) . IF YOU DON'T THE NEXT TIME YOU DRIVE IT ,IT WILL OVER HEAT AND MAYBE BURN UP , BLOW A HEAD GASKET , CRACK A HEAD OR BLOCK , OR ALL OF THE ABOVE . HEAT IT UP UNTIL YOU SEE THE COOLANT MOVING IN THE RADIATOR AND ADD MORE UNTIL IT'S FULL AND MOVING ------THIS MIGHT TAKE SEVERAL TIMES.Why will my radiator take only about 1 litre or so of coolant?There could be a few things going on here.



    1. The shop is trying to take you for money.



    2. There is a clog somewhere in the system.



    3. They did not compleatly drain the system. Make sure the coolant cap is off and just remove the bottom hose and you should be good to go.



    If you want the collant changed I would take to and have it flushed.Why will my radiator take only about 1 litre or so of coolant?perhaps it's clogged?

    How much trans. fluid does a 93 Chevy truck 350, 2wd automatic hold?

    Changed radiator and started truck without the trans. cooling line connected to the radiator. The truck ran about 20 to 30 sec. and alot of fluid was pumped out. Ive added 3 quarts and it still doesnt touch the stick.How much trans. fluid does a 93 Chevy truck 350, 2wd automatic hold?I'm pretty sure it takes about 5 quarts if you just change the fluid and filter,you probably didn't loose all that much, a little fluid makes a really big mess,but id want several quarts on hand,start it and let it get warm,then check it on the stick,keep filling it until its on the full,but don't over fill it,and make sure its warm when your doing this,id only add about a quart or two until i seen where it was at on the stick,there real easy to over fill,good luck with it.How much trans. fluid does a 93 Chevy truck 350, 2wd automatic hold?If it were completely empty it would take about 8 quarts just keep adding until you see it.It will be fine but do not drive it until you get the fluid to the proper level.God bless.

    Questions for UK gas boiler fitters. Is a condenser boiler the same as a combi' boiler? My exsisting one is

    floor standing (in the garage). It heats water, or runs the heating too. Not sure what that type is called, have a hot water tank/airing cupboard.

    What should I changed to? Don't want to change radiators, have 8, various sizes.

    Not sure how old my boiler is. Want smaller but economical one. Maybe wall hanging type. Any advise please, including cost of supply and fit? Thank you.Questions for UK gas boiler fitters. Is a condenser boiler the same as a combi' boiler? My exsisting one isA condensing boiler is one that recondenses the water vapur in the flue gasses to extract the latent heat of vaporisation which would otherwise be wasted to atmosphere. They are also known as High Efficiency boilers. A combi boiler is a boiler that does away with the need for a hot water cylinder or storage tank in the loft by heating water instantaneously within it as it flows through from the mains. A non combi boiler is one that is just a heat source used to heat external cylinder and radiators. Both combis and non combis can be made in high efficiency condensing versions, and indeed by law with very few exceptions you will need to fit the high efficiency version.





    Cost depends on a lot of factors but you will need your rads and pipe-work cleaned prior to fitting of new boiler as the high efficiency heat exchangers are badly effected by scale and sludge.Questions for UK gas boiler fitters. Is a condenser boiler the same as a combi' boiler? My exsisting one isA condensation boiler is a combi boiler, but not all combi boilers are condensation boilers.



    If you replace your boiler, you get a condensation boiler. It's likely to be wall hanging unless you have a huge house. You don't have a hot water cylinder. The boiler heats the hot water directly - and that's where the problems start.



    You need to site the boiler reasonably near the kitchen sink and bath or you'll waste a lot of heat getting the water there from the boiler. A condensation boiler in the garage is not usually ideal. If your airing cupboard is against an outside wall, you could have the boiler in there, where the cylinder used to be.Questions for UK gas boiler fitters. Is a condenser boiler the same as a combi' boiler? My exsisting one isA condensing boiler is a high efficiency boiler and these are the only boilers now allowed to be fitted (unless there are very unusual circumstances).



    Condensing boilers can be wall hung or floor standing.



    A condensing 'combination' boiler will do away with the need for a seperate hot water cylinder and storage cistern in the loft.

    A condensing 'system boiler can be adapted to your present heating system as can a condensing 'open vent or heat only' boiler.

    You need to speak to a plumber to advise you which is best for your circumstances.



    Please, please take my advise and fit a Vaillant condensing boiler. This manufacturer is by far the best on the market and believe me, there is a lot of rubbish out there!



    Visit the Vaillant web site and contact them to ask for recommended installers in your area.



    Vaillant are a little more expensive than others but the engineering is superb and as with all things in life - you get what you pay for!Questions for UK gas boiler fitters. Is a condenser boiler the same as a combi' boiler? My exsisting one isNo you can have a combi or conventional boiler as a condensing boiler. A condensing boiler is just a more efficient version of previous units.

    How do you determine that a car is a lemon?

    ok i bought my car 09/05 from a dealership. its a 1998 pontiac grand prix gt and it was $6,200. well since then i've had to put over $3,500 in repairs to it.



    -egr valve

    -belts

    -window motors (both stopped working)

    -new wiper motor/relay (also stopped working)

    -mass air flow sensor

    -new weather stripping stuff by wipers

    -struts

    -tires

    -brakes

    -air conditioning

    -oil changes, radiator flushs, normal stuff...



    also i still have to get the fans fixed b/c whenever i turn my heat on they squeal and its annoying, and when my heats on it smells horrible.



    no one else i know has ever put that much $$ into a car in less than 2 years.

    i bought it from a good dealership it's not like its from a buy here pay here.

    also it had 70,00 mi. when i bought it.How do you determine that a car is a lemon?the lemon law is that it has to have 5 MAJOR things go wrong with it within 1 year of purchase of a new car. You will have to have proof of this by dealer only repairs to your vehicle. The %26quot;small%26quot; repairs will be under new car warrantee. Since you bought a used car then you are screwed. The old saying of %26quot;caviot emptor%26quot; buyer beware. Just be sure to tell ALL of your friends and family not to buy anything from this dealer, as he probably knew the car was in this bad of condition. His mechanics will look over the vehicle when it was brought in then they will determine how much to fix to keep the car running long enough to resell it. If this a reputable dealer then he might refund some of your money since this car was in bad shape and he knew it.How do you determine that a car is a lemon?Most of the time a lemon is determined from it having to go into the shop for the same problem 3 times within a certain amount of time, and the problem never being taken care of, but I think the lemon laws are different from state to state.How do you determine that a car is a lemon?some you win some you lose. cut your losses and get rid of itHow do you determine that a car is a lemon?It looks like no one did any maintenance on this car while they owned it. In other words, it is a well used car.

    The previous owners just put gas in it and that was it....and drive it into the ground. %26quot;Could have been a rental.%26quot;

    The dealership ain't about to put money into it if they can sell it. Silicone and turtle wax is enough.

    All the things you mentioned are items that wear and would have to be replaced if you owned the car from day one. Except in your case you would have done it piece by piece...over the long haul.

    It is a matter of inspecting the car before you buy it - even from a dealer. Used is used=it is up to you to determine %26quot;how used is it%26quot;.

    There is no major part here like engine, transmission or rear end.How do you determine that a car is a lemon?As stated before the LEMON law only applies to newly purchased vehicles, or vehicles that were relatively newly purchased (ie very late model.)



    Most of the items you've named are wear items (tires, brakes, struts, etc) though some cars wear faster than others. The window motors are notoriously failure prone in GM vehicles (my brother's Camaro spent 5 minutes rolling up the windows.) Its odd that the MAF went out that soon, but its not unheard of.



    If its running fine now I'd say keep driving it, but if it starts to give you problems considering selling it a purchasing something else. Some cars are just money pits. Consider purchasing a Japanese car on your next go round, you will still need to fix stuff but they tend to break with a few more miles on them than the others do.

  • Changing radiator fluid... need help?

    how much radiator fluid/water mixture do you need to fill the car... like roughly... i know it needs to be full... but around how much is that usually... i have a 4 cylinder engine if that makes a difference..... sorry for sounding stupid... idk what im doing... im only 17 and i live on my own and dont have the money to pay a proChanging radiator fluid... need help?If you completely drained it, you will want to get 2 gallons of a 50/50 mix. Fill it to the top and let the air work out a little bit. It will gurgle. Then fill it some more. When it doesn't gurgle any more, start the car and let it get hot. Then turn on the heater and wait for it to blow hot. Then check the level again and top off as necessary.
