This video shows how to change a thermostat in a 2004 Jeep Wrangler straight 6cyl. This will work on any jeep from 1996-2004 with the 4.0 Inline 6. Can also be used for earlier jeeps as well….

Thanks! Just google “Jeep Star Decal” and there are a bunch on amazon and ebay.
Nice sticker man where did u get it at?
Yea, I did exactly what was done in the video.
Did you just set the new thermostat in and when you bolt the cover back it holds it in?
The shop manuals have the torque specs in it. Might ask people/search on the jeep forums. They might be able to help without spending the money on the manuals.
Ya man thank you. Do you know here I can find the torque specs for my 1995 4.0L YJ? I was looking in my owners manuals and couldn’t find it.
Yea, I didnt use a torque wrench on this. You need a torque wrench and the specs in order to torque it properly. I just tighten it to what I think is good from my experience. It helps if you know if the bolt is steel or aluminum, and if the threads are steel or aluminum. Also, smaller bolts typically dont get torqued as hard. Does this answer your question?
Hey man how do you know if you’ve torqued it to factor specifications? It’s easy to tighten up some bolts but are you just supposed to assume once they can’t be tightened anymore it’s good? “Torquing to factor specs” sounds very technical, sounds different than just tightening the bolts.
Yea man! Definitely a great engine to work on!
Straight six good to learn on !
No problem! I am glad this helped! That is the point of all of my how-to videos!
Thanks for the vid showed how easy it is to do. Just did mine with no problem.
Yes. I even changed the waterpump without draining the coolant. You will lose some coolant in the process but not everything. Enough that you could just add water!
Can this be done without draining the coolant?
Thanks man!
Not really. I happened to on this Jeep (It’s my buddy’s)…
By the way nice job..
Fix i meant
Do you fix peoples cars and then film the repair?
Thanks man! Comments like this make it all worth it!
