you must purge th system you have a air lock allow the vecile to run with the rad cap off till it get warm the shut it down till it cools add collant you may have to do this a few times........rosdale joe The way I did it was to fill up my radiator, then turn the car on. When its getting to the normal temperature is when it starts to pour water to the reservoir.... at this point you turn your heater on on high and the neddle to the hot possition... this should bleed the cooling system. Also check the preasure on you radiator cap.... the [problem on my car was the radiator cap.

Could be thermostat not opening causing a back pressure
Where do you add coolant in jeep Cherokee Laredo?
Older Cherokees have a pressurized overflow tank on the left side of the engine (facing the engine) near the firewall. There was a retrofit of a lower pressure relief cap for the overflow tank BUT the thermostat must also be replaced with a lower temperature setting.

It might the thermostat stuck close or the water pump does not work and has to replaced.
What would cause a 1996 BMW 320i convertible to overheat on a short journey and all the water bubble and steam?
my guess is the thermostat if you just replaced the thermostat then it might be an air pocket in the cooling system solved by taking the cap off the overflow tank squeezing the radiator hose going to the thermostat housing until the water pressure opens the hose in your hand this forces your thermostat open. if you decide to replace the thermostat yourself do the same as above to make sure all air is out of your cooling system.

What is the function of the Thermostat?
the thermostat is a water/coolant flow regulator using pressure or heat from the water/coolant to open itself and let water circulate. when the thermostat gets stuck (won't open/close normally), the car's engine will overheat, usually will get replaced (if you go to a certified mechanic) or will be removed and not replaced (if you go to an uncertified McGiber type mechanic), although this does not affect your car in a negative way.
