Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine. There is where the t-stat housing is. Remove the hose, remove the housing, remove the old t-stat, clean gasket surfaces install the t-stat into the housing with the spring side sticking out toward the engine, use spray adhesive to attach the gasket(DO NOT USE RTV), reinstall everything and be careful to evenly tighten the housing bolts until they are snug(DO NOT RAUNCH HARD ON THE BOLTS). Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water, and burp the system.

How do you install a thermostat on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee?

I have a 93 Jeep Cherokee and what we've found is that we can never find the right part, even from the dealer. Chrysler seems to have a really bad part inventory on this model. What we've done is to call Chrysler directly and ask customer service for the part number and then look for the part that way. I don't know how to change it, but we found a very good mechanic in Los Angeles, CA.
