XJ Bad head gasket?

Re: XJ Bad head gasket?
That article briefly touches on the different types of antifreeze.
How many of you Jeepers out there know that your favorite auto-parts store
probably does not stock the antifreeze required for late-model Jeeps?
Daimler-Chrysler, Ford, and Mercedes late models require HOAT G-05 (Hybrid
Organic Acid Technology) based antifreeze. These manufacturers SPECIFICALLY
WARN AGAINST use of any other type or the intermixing of other types.
So where do you get the right stuff?
Well.... you DO NOT get it at AutoZone, Advance Autoparts, NAPA, Meijer,
Target, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, or Biggs. These stores carry Prestone and Peak
which is based on Texaco-GM's Dex-Cool. Dex-Cool is under fire for its
propensity to eat and clog radiator components. See:
http://www.imcool.com/articles/antif...l-macs2001.htm
So where do you get it? You can get D-C, Ford, or Mercedes factory G-05
antifreeze or you can buy Valvoline's Zerex G-05. Valvoline makes all of
these brands. I had to drive halfway across town to get to a Pep Boys.
But, you say, Prestone says you can use their antifreeze in any vehicle and
evens offers a "lifetime" guarantee. That is correct. What is also correct
is that DC, Ford, and Mercedes specifically tell you not to use other
antifreezes.
I just bought an 2002 WJ. The previous owner "topped off" the overflow
bottle with Dex-Cool based antifreeze. You should have seen the C%#P that
came out when I cleaned and back-flushed the cooling system.

Hi Bill,
I use http://www.prestone.com/ looking very carefully that I don't
buy the diluted 50/50 stuff. It's the same Ethylene Glycol I've always
used, I hope it is, in that the bleeding heart liberals have been f**kin
with the tried a true formulas that unfortunately kill animals. Anyway,
it's colored green so it's easy to tell the condition of, then change it
by every two years to prevent electrolysis that probably nailed the
Poster. I've sold plenty of Peak, it's the something, other than they
use red coloring, makes it easy to sell another flush.

Yes, they still make "American' green and it is still recommended for the
