Air in the system? There's some tips for removing the air like leaving the temp sensor out to bleed off air as you fill the system, and to squeeze the upper hose to force air into the overflow tank.
Other than that, go to www.naxja.org/forum and ask Eagle, the resident XJ cooling expert.

Wheel Bearing Question
Hi,
Please don't double post the exact same thing in two threads. I've deleted your posts in the "1988 cherokee overheating" thread which were repetitive so people can help you in this single thread which, among other things, is less confusing than trying to discuss one topic in two threads.  -Nick

Hi,
So were you able to fix your overheating problem? As was said before, it is most likely an air pocket in the system -- very common problem on the older model year Cherokees. Be sure you run the heater while filing the system to remove the air from the heater core, and also I've heard that parking on a hill or incline while filling the system can help remove air pockets. -Nick

Well here's the deal after spending two days (one on the road) and ~400 dolla! fixin' my ride, she's all fixed, the $6 expansion tank cap was not holding pressure and I replaced it, burped the system and drove it to houston that night (about 300 mi roundtrip). I cant thank y'all enough for your help again w/this b/c frankly I was at my wits end. I've worked on lots and lots of vehicles (although this is my first jeep) and guess I am in that learning curve again. So its back to good times for me. Thanks again Y'all!
