Does anyone in the Las Vegas area know a good Jeep enthusiast mechanic? My mechanic is good but I'm having issues that they just can't fix.

Overall, its been overheating. I've replaced the thermostat three times. The fan is running fine, the radiator is fine. It was tolerable until the other day I was coming up the back side of the hill from the lake and my light came on and i started leaking coolant.What issue are you having?
That makes sense to me. Not sure I would have replaced the thermostat three times since they are easy to tell if they are bad or not but if not thermostat it’s probably water pump.Overall, its been overheating.

...He just called and said it might be the water pump. If it's not than it's the head.
Well the second thermostat I got was aftermarket and it failed pretty quick, so I didn't get charged for it, or charged for the stock replacement. Still time wasted though.That makes sense to me.

Also what year? Do you have a cooler in front of your radiator? Has the radiator been flushed or cleaned out or just visual look and say it’s good?
If it's a head gasket, you're going to see it either as an external leak, exhaust smoke (white smoke), or in the oil pan. The evidence will be clear wherever.Fan and radiator are fine. Thermostat is not working properly again, but something else has to be contributing to the problem. Been told it might be a head gasket.
