[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 658944, member: 3103"] [b]Re:[/b] Well something to keep in mind, I changed it out because of the overheating prior to the waterpump change out. I had the old waterpump that did seemingly work before I rewired the jeep. It started to overheat so I checked the pump. My old pump felt honestly too easy to turn so I thought maybe it had stripped off the vanes. But it was intact upon inspection.

I can see when the T-stat opens due to fluid concentration and some movement, but since the new radiator cap is on the opposite side of the water neck inlet I can't see much in the way of movement of than some slight flow.
