Thanks Mr. ------ for your help, I appreciate you taking the time.
I agree that draining the block would be an important step but I can't find
the drain plug. I don't want to remove the exhaust manifold looking for it
because I'm not sure where the drain plug is. It's not where the service
manual says it's located or at least I can't see it.The illustration that
you point out is not the same configuration as what I have in my Wrangler.
The exhaust manifold is more massive and there are two exhaust pipes
attached to it. Also the coolant temperature sensor is located in the
thermostat housing not in the engine block. The jeep only has 60,000 miles
on it so I hope that there isn't much yuk in there at this point to hurt
anything. Since I'm changing from the original antifreeze to the G-05 I
will do a water hose flush to remove all of the old stuff and hope that will
be sufficient at least this time around. In the mean time I'll try to find
out if this engine has the drain plug, where it's located and if it can be
accessed with out doing a major tear down. I wonder why they didn't put the
plug on the right side of the engine? It would be much more accessible.
Thanks,
Dennis B

Hi Dennis,
That's why I included the link with Picture:

The right side of the engine is occupied by your camshaft and oil
galleys.

Can't make it out from this but it looks like the bolt yours calls out.

They moved the temp sensor up to the waterpump output.
(stupid location because it will fail if the coolant gets low)
