What else can I help you with?
What would cause pressure in the radiator besides thermostatalready replaced head gasket?
radiator cap
What would cause a jeep Cherokee radiator upper and lower hoses to collapse?
If they are collapsing after the engine is off, the rad cap is bad. The cap needs to allow pressure back in as the engine cools off.
What is the Cause of radiator cap breaking?
The spring on the bottom of a radiator cap will cause it to fail. If the spring does not work properly it can lead to pressure escaping from the radiator which can overheat the vehicle.
Will a bad radiator cap cause excessive pressure that will cause the coolant to boil off instead of circulating through the engine?
No. Excessive pressure will not cause the water to boil off quickley. It will cause the radiaor hose or other components to burst causing loss of coolant. A bad radiator cap can cause high or low pressure; low pressure will cause the coolant to boil at a lower temperature.
How would a radiator cap cause a leak?
A radiator cap would not cause a leak! However, if the radiator cap is holding pressure, other weak parts could signal issues in need of attention.
Can a blown head gasket cause a radiator to explode?
Most definitely. A blown head gasket can cause the temperature to rise and put back pressure into the radiator, therefore possibly causing the radiator hoses to blow, or even bursting the radiator.
What would cause your radiator cap to blow off?
the radiator cap is a pressure regulating device if it is blocked for some reason the pressure in the cooling system could blow it off
Can radiator cap cause overheat?
Yes, if it is not holding pressure or is allowing a coolant leak.
What would cause a 92 jeep cherokee 4.0L to overheat?
Blocked radiator, low on coolant, stuck thermostat, air in cooling system
What cause radiator hose to ge hard under pressure?
Internal pressure of the cooling system which is normally around 17 psi.
What would cause a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee's water temperature to rise at idle and fall again while driving?
Inoperative radiator fan.
What can cause white smoke from radiator?
Steam? Leak? overheating due to low coolant? Back pressure due to a bad thermostat? Defective radiator cap? have system pressure tested to determine location of leak
