Re: over heating Jeep
Check the coolant level. Low coolant = no heat.

Re: over heating Jeep
If it is an air lock a good way to fix it without fancy tools is to remove
the temperature sending unit or the heater hose that attaches to the
cylinder head, prior to filling the cooling system. Put it back when
coolant starts to be visible at the opening. There are some weird engines
where more is required, but I don't think that the Jeep 4.0 litre is one of
them. With a new heater core, you can pour some coolant into one heater
hose, enough to fill the core, with the other one attached to the engine.
It doesn't take any more time to do it this way, and it is a whole lot
better than trying to get air out of a sealed system later.
