[QUOTE="TahoeJim, post: 440069, member: 20690"] Forgot to update this thread with the solution. Turns out I had a small leak in the thermostat housing cover. As it turns out the location for the thermostat is roughly over the front diff, which is why the diff and steering stabilizer were dripping with coolant. I didn't find this... i brought my jeep into a local shop when my Jeep overheated. No damage from the overheating... luckily pulled into my driveway just as it started belching coolant. The overheating was caused by my fan not operating. :) Shop said I needed a new $600 fan plus $200 install. Then I found this post: [URL]https://realjenius.com/2018/06/28/pentastar_radiator_fan/[/URL] and solved the problem by cleaning/tightening all the connections. Thanks for help/suggestions. Posting in case someone else has similar problems and comes here looking for a solution. [/QUOTE]
