99_XC600 Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 As I was getting my daughter ready for school this morning, I get a call from my wife saying that during her 15 minute commute to work the temperature spiked and the check engine light went on as she was pulling into the parking garage. I headed out with some tools, water and thoughts of hope that it wasn't running too long in the red. When I looked at it, the expansion tank was empty and it took a gallon of water. I then started it up and found a pin hole leak in the plastic tank. Hearing no strange noises, we swapped cars and I took it home. Pulling the radiator was a relative easy job. I had the old one removed in less than an hour. Putting it back together went fairly well, I think I spent more time driving to the parts store and waiting in line then the actual repair. Broke out the Keter work table. I love that thing! Thanks again Erik and Dan for hooking me up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruton Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 My brother in law and I used to mess around with his jeep and it was really pretty easy to work on. I guess that was by design but it was kind of nice. Nice to see the Keter table in action too!Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99_XC600 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 The Keter table has been huge for me. My garage is so jammed full of stuff right now and having the tractor in there isn't helping. It's absolutely great to be able to grab it and set up a work surface without having to move 15 other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electromage Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Swapping the radiator in my 1990 Cherokee was pretty straightforward too, glad to see they haven't overcomplicated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99_XC600 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Looks like the water pump was taken out during the process. It's leaking past the seal and making some nice drip marks on the garage floor. I'll add replacing water pump to the project list this weekend. Good thing I've replaced it once already. This should be easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
