overheating
My 99 discoII is overheating. I was losing a little water/coolant at first, then I would refill it and it would be fine. Now it over heats all the time. Does anybody have any suggestions. I do not know weather it is the thermostat,the water pump or a head gasket. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shawn

RE: overheating
All I know is as soon as you notice its overheating you need to pull over and stop driving it. It will tear up your engine, or even kill it if you continue to drive it. Disco Mike or someone will chime in with what you need to do/what it is, but I just wanted to get that out there!

RE: overheating
I am not that mechanically inclined. I change my own oil and check my own fluids, I changed transfer cases with some help. The coolant system is something I know little about. I think the engine is alright it was still running strong and I didn't get it hot. I pay close attention to the temp gauge and shut it off before it got to the the red.

RE: overheating
Thanks Disco Mike. I talked to a shop they said it was going to run me about $1600 to do all the gaskets from the head gasket up. Does this sound right? I figure if I am going to pay someone to tear it down I will do the water pump thermostat and fan clutch.
Again, thanks for your time to answer my question Disco Mike.
