Default College Park Jeeper

I am locate in College Park, just got an 88 Cherokee Limited with under 60k miles on it, may have suffered somewhat from under use, seems to be over heating and difficulty finding out why. A new thermostat was installed, coolant drained and flushed and refilled and still when i drive it it overheats eventually. Any reputable, knowledgeable, reasonably priced Jeep mechanics in my area?

generally the issue is a fan clutch or auxiliary fan. try replacing that. roughly 35 dollars at advanced auto. maybe a water pump if that doesnt work.

Welcome Infohound. We'll need some more info to solve your overheating problem. It will be solved. Though.
Good morning to the rest of my fellow Md jeepers. Happy Thursday.
