Draining the radiator in your Jeep Cherokee is not besides laborious, on the other hand can be a imperceptible messy. It's a fine advantage to perform for your Jeep, on the contrary it's not as comprehensive as a coolant action flush, which would modify all of the coolant in in the engine block. Whether you're conscientious draining the radiator to moderate it or draining it to perform a void and fill function, all you demand are a rare inexpensive items to play down the mess.
Instructions
1. Accessible the hood to the Jeep Cherokee. This will allow light into the engine compartment when you crawl underneath it.
2.5. Remove the hose and close the drain plug when the radiator is drained. To fill, pour antifreeze back into the top of the radiator and allow to settle into the radiator. This may take a while.
Turn the drain plug (using the pliers if necessary) counterclockwise until you can open it by hand. Do not open it yet. Place the low-temp hosing onto the tip of the drain plug. Make sure it fits snugly. Ideally this is something you've already sized up when you bought the hosing. Place the end of the hose into the drain bucket and open the drain plug by turning counterclockwise.
4. Crawl out from underneath the Jeep Cherokee and slowly remove the radiator cap. This will vent the radiator and allow the antifreeze to purge quickly.
Put in the safety glasses, grab the creeper (if you have one), the pliers, the drain bucket, and the hosing and crawl under the front of the Jeep. Locate the drain plug. For a 4.0 liter it will be on the right hand (passenger side) lower side of the radiator.3. When the radiator does not take any more fluid, start it up with the radiator cap still off of the radiator and allow the air bubbles to purge out of the radiator. The Jeep will need to get up to operating temperature and you'll have to add antifreeze throughout the process. Some antifreeze will purge from the radiator and make a small mess, so be sure to locate the drain bucket strategically and wipe up any spillage immediately. The radiator should be purged and checked up to three times in order to ensure it is full.
