Diagnosing and Fixing Overheating Issues in Jeep JK - Thermostat removal and coolant flush
**UPDATE** This video left off with a “i hope this fixes my problem”. So i wanted to report that this did fix my issue. I have not had abnormal temperatures since i replaced the thermostat and flushed the coolant.
Last November I started experiencing overheating issues after a trail run in Northern Virginia. I cleaned my radiator and engine bay to clear out all the built up mud, and while driving under regular conditions, my temperature was maintaining, however it was running a little hotter than normal. At highway speeds on steep hills or long drives my engine would overheat and I would be limited to 45mph, or have to keep my RPMs under 2500.
I checked what I could on the water pump without removing it, and have no indications that it's bad. So for today I decided to remove the old thermostat and install a new one, and do a full system coolant flush to make sure I get any contaminated or old fluid out.

BIGGEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! All Top Air Compressor Product Review
The All Top 12v air compressor is the perfect air compressor for getting you off the trail! It is built tough, easy to use, and won't break the bank!
This air compressor is also sold by SMITTYBILT and ROUGH COUNTRY. Depending on which one you buy, the only difference is the color.
Having an air compressor is essential! whether you need to air up after a trail ride, top off tire pressure with temperature or elevation changes, or for recovery purposes like setting a bead on a trail, or something to run onboard for air lockers, you need an air compressor to get the job done! The All Top Air Compressor is perfect for 4x4 applications, puts out 180l/minute and has a max pressure of 150psi.
As it sits, it will not run heavy pneumatic tools like an impact gun, but if you have a small tank to store pressure, this compressor could get some work done!
I have been using this compressor on a very regular basis since I got it a little over a year ago and it has not let me down! I am very impressed!
Air compressors are an essential part to any trail kit for Jeeps, Toyotas or any other off road or overland rig.

JK Tailgate Rattle - how to fix that awful noise coming from your Jeep tailgate EASY!
The little gapper piece (not sure what the item is actually called) eventually works its way back (toward the front of the vehicle) allowing for wiggle room on the tailgate side. This causes there to be a "rattle" or "banging" sound coming from your tailgate when driving over slightly bumper roads. It sounds much worse than it is. For a while I thought it was my spare tire carrier, but soon realized what the real issue was, and made this video to share with you how to fix it! quick and simple fix! all you need is a 10mm socket . . . that's probably the hardest part ;)
