Thermostat needs replaced

To replace a thermostat, you will need at least: 1. A new thermostat 2. Screwdriver 2. Needle-nosed pliers. Depending on the thermostat and location in your home, you may need more. Make sure the new thermostat you are using to replace the old one with is compatible to your 110-volt housing circuitry. Always turn off the electrical power to the home thermostat at the power panel or circuit breaker box.--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When replacing the thermostat on my 98 jeep wrangler (4.0 6 cyl.) does the thermostat go in first, then the gasket or the other way around?

Check out the diagram:

1423f4e.gif
The removal of the thermostat from its housing on the 4.0L engine

To install:
  1. Install the replacement thermostat so that the pellet, which is encircled by a coil spring, faces the engine. All thermostats are marked on the outer flange to indicate the proper installed position.
  2. Observe the recess groove in the engine cylinder head .
  3. Position thermostat into this groove with arrow and air bleed hole on outer flange pointing up.
  4. Install replacement gasket and thermostat housing

    CAUTION Tightening the thermostat housing unevenly or with the thermostat out of its recess may result in a cracked housing.

  5. Tighten the housing bolts to 15 ft. lbs. (20 Nm) torque.
  6. Install hoses to thermostat housing.
  7. Install electrical connector to coolant temperature sensor.
  8. Be sure that the radiator draincock is tightly closed. Fill the cooling system.
  9. Start and warm the engine. Check for leaks

WARNING Do not loosen radiator drain **** with system hot and pressurized. Serious burns from coolant can occur.



NOTE Do not waste reusable coolant. If solution is clean, drain coolant into a clean container for reuse. If thermostat is being replaced, be sure that replacement is specified thermostat for vehicle model and engine type.
