Automatic or manual? What did you put in the rad -- my rad has 160K miles andlooks like the inside of a Coors can.

Manual, just do it. Have new Nissan coolant and distilled water to refill. There'sa rubber cap on a metal vent line right in the top middle of the firewall. Pull thecap while you refill.

IIRC, the automatic has a trans oil cooling tube running through the bottom ofthe rad. This would be a real good time to change out the trans oil.

It's an automatic, it's my fiancee's jeep, she has the haynes book for it should I just look through it and see how to do it? I thought this site was like my Acurazine.com site, but you guys don't really give DIY's for things or do you???
