Some problems may or may not be a big deal dont know

Sounds like the fan clutch might be shot and causing your overheating problem. Get it looked at ASAP.

That's the first thing that came to my mind also.

lession learned i guess, im washing the jeep from the inside at the momment, i changed the engine oil and its clean... how can i check the others? the diff and t case?

[Raspberry]

With both the diffs and the tcase you must remove the fill-plug and pop your old-skool dip-stick (ie. finger) in there. If the fluid inside doesn't come up to the fill plug for you to be able to touch it, and you don't know how long its been running low, then its probably best you drain and re-fill with new fluid anyway.

cool thanks, the jeep seems to be running good at the momment, the engine oil is good as i just changed it like 2 days ago and i checked it to day its clean, the jeep doesnt smoke any kind of smoke from the muffler, tomm maybe ill check the t case and diffs .

Also engine fan/ clutch thingy have been changed

Rad cap changed yet or did you get a new one with the new rad?

i used the one from my old one but this one doesnt leak or anything and the seals on it look fiarly new

[Immortal]

Also when you replaced the rad did you get a new rad cap? Having the wrong psi rated cap or an old cap that isn't venting properly can cause the rad to over pressure, and if its a plastic rad, to crack. Always put a new cap on a new plastic rad, or it will happen again.

If you won't heed the advice of others, why bother asking for it?

To paraphrase Trevor...if you ignore the advice given by people like Clay that really know their stuff...don't expect sympathy or even anyone bothering to give you more advice when things continue to go wrong.

Sounds like a great plan! Hopefully it will all work out with no permanent harm done, and you'll be enjoying your TJ for years to come.

Im not sure if i said this but the 2d time when i went in the deep water i didnt get stuck i got out right away, just a heads up for the water going in to my diffs and trans but will it have done damage for just 30 secs tell i got out the water do damaege?

As has been stated, change the diff fluids. When was the last time they were ever done? i faithfully did mine every 10k, sooner if i was in muddy waters often

Hey, i just read that its a 2002. Unless you know the service history, changing all fluids would be advisable regardless of your last experiences.
When ever i buy used, i do all the fluids as soon as i get the vehicle. This includes a Toy diesel truck, Mits Pajero, Skyline, Dodge Ram.
The only one id did not do was the 77 jeep (except for oil change) as the owber had a detailed book on everything he did. He was very meticulous and trustworthy.
