So, I had to replace the thermostat on my Jeep Grand Cherokee. First, drained the old coolant, made a mess so cover the ground lol. Then removed the radiator hose, pretty easy. Popped off the housing with a couple of screws, found the old thermostat stuck like crazy. It got stuck really hard on the housing. New thermostat in, hoses back on, filled with coolant. Started it, let it run to get new coolant through. Everything worked fine. Heard it can overheat if not done right, did you check for leaks before driving? And I used some basic tools, don’t need much fancy stuff. How long does it usually take, you think? Just curious about the time it took you. Hope this helps.
I’ve got to say, replacing the thermostat in my Jeep Grand Cherokee was a real adventure. Living here in Canada, winter hits hard, and a faulty heat pump turned into a non-stop game of repair. Got the Jeep lifted and thermostats swapped out. Tip for anyone gonna tackle this: get yourself a good manual; trust me, it’s worth every penny. A well-equipped garage makes all the difference!
I remember swapping my thermostat in a garage in Ohio. It was a beast of a job on the Jeep Grand Cherokee, but doable with some help.

I’ve got pics if anyone’s curious about the messy bits, lol!
