When they really over heat the coolant blows out of the reservoir bottle.

Are they 2004.5's? The ECM issues were for a few 04.5's. It sure sounds like the problem. Any chance of getting vin numbers?

There was a ECM recall for the 04.5's. Call your dealer with the vin numbers or PM it to me and have them checked to see if they have had the ECM test done already. If they haven't, you should be able to get the machines fixed for free. If they have been checked and passed, you will probably just have to order 2 ECM's and replace them.

Could be a stuck thermostat as well. I had to put one in my Scrambler and it was stuck shut.
