Which way does coolant flow?
Well-Known Member. The hose on the right (passenger) side comes from the top of the head, HOT water. The left side returns cooled water from the radiator to the thermostat to the water pump and then into the engine block.
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.
How does a hydraulic radiator fan on a jeep work?
Instead of using an electric fan or a mechanical fan with a viscous clutch, Jeep uses a hydraulic radiator fan. The hydraulic radiator fan receives power steering fluid pressure from the power steering pump. How does the Jeep diesel regulate engine cooling? Jeep uses a hydraulic radiator fan on the 5.7L and 3.0L diesel engine.
What kind of fan does a jeep diesel engine use?
The Jeep diesel radiator fan is completely different than anything you’ve seen on other engines. Instead of using an electric fan or a mechanical fan with a viscous clutch, Jeep uses a hydraulic radiator fan. The hydraulic radiator fan receives power steering fluid pressure from the power steering pump.
What kind of engine does a jeep 4.7 have?
The 4.7L V8 High Output engine also offers a 9.7:1 compression ratio, two knock sensors, brand-new camshafts, high-compression domed pistons, and tuned intake. With an additional 30 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque over a standard engine- this high output version was then replaced by a 5.7L V8 Hemi engine.
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.
What kind of coolant should I use on my Jeep?
I told the guy at the parts department I’ve already gone through two gallons and its still empty the radiator and the overflow tank and he told me something must be wrong, now I’m confused. its 50% antifreeze and 50% water. The recommended mixture is 50/50 ethylene-glycol and water. Never use pure antifreeze.
How much coolant does a 4.7 V8 take?
4.7 L V8 Monster under the Hood… At least that’s what it sounds like. Close to 68k, so she’s an experienced Virgin.. I think.. Now, what the hell was I sayin?? its 50% antifreeze and 50% water. The recommended mixture is 50/50 ethylene-glycol and water. Never use pure antifreeze. X2. Did you mix it? If not you will have to drain it all again
What should the pressure be on a jeep radiator?
General rates of increase are usually 8psi to 15psi. If pressures exceed the rated amount for the cap, the valve will open and release the pressure and possibly coolant as well.
