Good deal! Keep in mind, that is about the same for any car. Anytime you have some weird symptoms like that, and especially after some kind of maintenance, that is one of the first things to double check/confirm.

Burping mine first thing tomorrow morning!

To be clear, to "burp" it, you simply jack the car up on the passenger side and unscrew the radiator cap (not fully remove) correct?

when I lift the passenger side of Jeep and open radiator cap, should I run the vehicle for flow?

nope. if you start the vehicle with the cap removed, you will overflow out of the rad very quickly. It's best to remove the radiator cap in the morning and top off while cold if need be. usually mine takes a couple times of topping off.

I installed a Griffin aluminum rad 3 years ago. I had to replace the cap one time but that is what it is. I have a thread here -

I have not looked at the alternatives or prices out there in a while. For a long time Mishimoto got a terrible rap with all sorts of leaking issues. No clue if they are better these days.
