And unlike with a carburated engine, do not put in a cooler thermostat, the
fuel injection will run rich all the time.

Re: Thermostat
 
Somewhere around 2000 they changed the antifreeze specs from "American
Green" to "G-05"

The old stuff (American Green) is still available, at least from Zerex in
the white jug and can still be used according to DC.
http://www.valvoline.com/zerex/

The new stuff (G-05) is recommended by DC as a replacement the American
Green as it has superior protective ability.

If your Jeep requires the new stuff (G-05) it is only manufactured by one
company (Valvoline) and distributed by MOPAR, Ford, Mercedes dealerships,
and by Valvoline's brand Zerex (gold jug)
http://www.valvoline.com/zerex/

None of the antifreezes made by Prestone, Peak, Sierra, etc. are suitable
for use in a G-05 requiring vehicles and contain ingredients DC specifically
warns you against.

This does not stop Prestone (for example) from promoting their product for
use in late model DC, Ford, or Mercedes vehicles.

Re: Thermostat
 
Is the coolant level full with the engine running and the heater on full
blast?
