2003 Jeep Grand cherokee 4.0L, 6cl. I replaced my radiator last night and after double checking the connections, I put new 50/50 coolant into the system via the pressure cap. Now, When the engine starts to warm up, the engine begins to overheat and there is a LOUD squeeling sound. Any ideas?

You first need to get all the air out of the cooling system so it's full and find out why the belt is squealing. It may be too loose or there may be a problem with one of the belt driven components.
