Hey folks I need you minds working on this on.. I have a 2001 Cruisser with an overheating problem, while driving on the highway the temp goes up about 1 bar on the gauge when I stop the temp goes back to normal or one bar below the normal line. Now I have changed to t-stat yesterday, but same problem I replaced the rad fan in the summer (July) but this only because it died. This overheating problem is perlexing because the system is not overflowing the catch bottle and there is no leaking or smell of fluid anywhere. I am thinking the temp sensing bulb? or the pump is toasted I reall don't know what to do. Any help would be great. Thanks

The pump was changed about 20,000 KM's ago new timing belt and drive belts total milage is about 203000 kms. Drove to work today no problem getting there, check coolant level before leaving work this morning all ok but got on the hwy and the engine overheated and I lost all the coolant. The temp outside this morning was -16 so why would it even overheat? Also there was no heat in the cabin prior to the overheat condition.

The coolant is mixed right as per Chrysler, Car is parked outside always, engine block and battery heater installed and always on in cold weather. I just ran the engine again and the line to the rad is hot but you can squeze the hose flat. I am thinking air in the system, how do I bleed this? Just to check and see if anything comes out.

On the thermostat housing there is a bleed off valve. On one of the postings that Crewzin makes is a picture.
