Answer
My mother had a 99 cherokee with teh same problem. in her case the radiator had not been flushed in a long time, and by the time she had it fushed the rust had moved into the engine block water cavities.you can have the radiator pulled and acid bathed (vatted) at a radiator shop to remove the rust, but if its that bad it may be in your block and return.
