Best Answer

Your water pump might be broken or your thermostat might need to be replaced. You obviously don't have a leak so somehow the fluid isn't moving through the engine. If the thermostat is broken it will not let fluid into the engine and then the engine will overheat and the radiator will release smoke.

What is the radiator capacity of a 1999 Jeep Wrangler 6-cylinder?

The 1999 Wrangler is equipped with an overflow tank. The amount iof coolant to add to the radiator is slightly less than 2 gallons. Be sure to use either a 50/50 coolant (pre-mixed with water) or a gallon of concentrated coolant mixed with an equal amount of water. You will have about 3/4 inch of coolant left in the container when the radiator is full. The overflow tank is there to hold coolant when the radiator gets warm and needs to expell some of the coolant. So just fill the radiator with coolant. You'll know when it's full.
