Where does the water pump connect to the radiator?
There are two hoses that connect to the radiator. The upper hose attaches from the top of the radiator to the top of the engine at the thermostat housing. The lower hose attaches from the bottom of the radiator to the water pump of the engine. If you suspect either radiator hose is failing, watch for the following symptoms: 1. Leaking coolant
How does the radiator work on a jeep?
They consist of two reservoirs connected by a series of pipes, in which the coolant runs. The fan increases the air flow going through the radiator at low speeds or when parked. It is activated only when the engine cooling circuit temperature reaches standard values.
Where does the coolant come from on a radiator?
If you notice green fluid beneath your vehicle, chances are your vehicle is leaking coolant. This fluid will have a sweet smell to it. The fluid can come from the radiator hose, the radiator drain cock, or the radiator itself.
Where does the radiator hose attach to the engine?
The upper hose attaches from the top of the radiator to the top of the engine at the thermostat housing. The lower hose attaches from the bottom of the radiator to the water pump of the engine. If you suspect either radiator hose is failing, watch for the following symptoms:
How does the coolant system in a jeep work?
It keeps the engine block at its optimum operating temperature. When the engine is cold, the thermostat closes to restrict coolant flow to the radiator and allow the engine to quickly reach its operating temperature. As the engine heats up, the thermostat opens and allows coolant to circulate through out the entire coolant system.

Which is the main drive of the coolant system?
10) Water Pump – The water pump is the main drive of the coolant system. It keeps the coolant in a continuous flow from engine block to radiator and all points in between. There are various designs of the impeller, but the most common design seen is a paddle-style.
What causes a water pump to collapse on a radiator?
That forces the coolant to heat up. Once the coolant reaches about 165°F begins to open and allow some coolant flow. At 195°F, the thermostat should be fully open. If the thermostat fails in the closed position, the water pump will attempt to pull coolant from the radiator and that can cause the upper radiator hose to collapse.
What to do when your water pump is not circulating coolant?
When you don’t feel the surge of coolant, squeeze the upper radiator hose again, and while an assistant depresses the accelerator to increase engine speed, release the radiator hose. If you still don’t feel the surge of coolant through the upper radiator hose, most likely coolant is not circulating.
The upper hose attaches from the top of the radiator to the top of the engine at the thermostat housing. The lower hose attaches from the bottom of the radiator to the water pump of the engine. If you suspect either radiator hose is failing, watch for the following symptoms:
Can a low coolant light cause a radiator hose leak?
If your Low Coolant Light comes on, or you are having to constantly replenish the fluid, there could be a leak in the radiator hose. This type of leak should be visible as drips where the vehicle was parked.
Are there stainless gear clamps on radiator hose?
The fittings on both the water pump and radiator are smooth (not pitted) and painted. I would rather not use stainless gear clamps, if I can avoid to. The hose is a new piece of Gates Green Stripe. I would appreciate any suggestions which would stop the seepage.
