Thermostat
Jumped in the 2000 TJ six cylinder this am and noticed the temp gauge
never got above about 120. I'm assuming the thermostat is stuck open. Since I don't have a manual and haven't changed a thermostat since my small block chevy days, I thought I'd ask about any gotchas that I might not know about or is it still a fairly simple replacement. TIA Joe Carroll 2K-TJ There are some simple truths...And the dogs know what they are." Joseph Duemer |
Re: Thermostat
Before you go tearing things apart, stick a meat thermometer in the
radiator and see how hot it gets to verify the gauge is correct. Not that I, as a YJ owner, would know anything about misbehaving gauges... |

I suspect the fact that I was getting no heat from the heater confirmed the open thermostat theory but that's a good idea.

Re: Thermostat
Make sure you flush and fill the radiator with the right stuff.
