I suspect that either your thermostat is plugged with debris from the radiator change or that the thermostat was replaced backwards. The spring side should be towards the block.
Check the thermostat to see if it was installed correctly. They can get put in backwards.
The best way to lift a Grand Cherokee is to install tighter leaf springs. The leaf springs can be changed in some vehicles to make them appear taller.
Check the front driveshaft.
Did you check that the fan is working if it's not check the fan relay.Secondly is the car still overheating when it's being driven? If so the you need need to check the tail pipe for any Antifreeze or Vapour that smells like it,also check the radiator for any excess oil.These are usually symptoms of a cracked cylinder head.
The Cherokee homes and villages were ranged around a central plaza, which was used for dances, games, and ceremonies. To make their homes, they used upright poles that held the fram of the house together. Their house frequently changed due to the weather.
Are you sure that isn't antifreeze and if so that would indicate the radiator is defective. There is a transmission oil cooler in the radiator.
There could be several things that will make your 2005 Grand Cherokee Limited overheat even if you just changed your radiator. There may be a head gasket blown.
Thermostat messed up, Oil needs to be changed, no antifreeze in the radiator, radiator fan is not working properly
Radiator plugged or restricted? Cooling system airbound? Water pump not circulating coolant? Radiator cap defective? Radiator hoses collapsing under pressure? Defective gauge/cooling temperature sensor?
Could be the heater. It's likely that most of the hoses to the rad were changed, but maybe a hose to a heater (if you have more than one), or the heater itself.
You may have the thermostat in upside down, typically you want the pointed side facing UP.
it is not mud. Most 94 and later GM'S come out with Dexcool antifreeze. If it hasn't been changed it will kinda look like mud. My recomendation would be to flush the whole cooling system and replace with regular or universal antifreeze.
I changed the antifreeze in my bike and according to the manual, it says to add only through the port under the seat. That port goes to the overflow bottle underneath. There seems to be no siphon to draw it into the radiator. I know this because I rode the bike until the coolant light came on. Checked the bottle and it was still loaded with antifreeze. Only other was I can think to add it is to remove the hose about the radiator and add directly to the radiator. In the meantime I have more that I need in the over flow bottle. It does drain out to the ground if you try to add more than it has capacity for.
Water pump or bad hose clamp
Because it leaked out, or was absorbed as the new radiator filled its voids. Just top it off, and observe during and after an engine thermal cycle, and top off as necessary until proper range is reached. Notice that the reservoir has "hot" and "cold" levels.
You more than likely have a bad water pump. With the car running, open your radiator cap and see if the water is circulating through the radiator. If not, then your water pump is bad. Hope that helps...
I do not have a Grand Marquis so my engine does not overheat! Fords and Ford products tend to overheat and always have! Let's check a few things. How long has it been since you changed the thermostat and the coolant? Those two things are the most likely culprits. What is the condition of the hoses? Have those been changed in the last several years? If you have changed the hoses, the thermostat, and the coolant, and it still overheats, then it is time to take it to a radiator shop and have the radiator rodded out. ========================================================== I have been driving Ford models for over 40 years and have never had an engine overheat . Don't forget the basics , engine cooling system level etcetera . Check for a fan clutch problem , a problem with the water pump not circulating . Ford also states that if you exceed 60% antifreeze in the distilled water / antifreeze mix that it could overheat in hot weather
