if you have the 6cyl 4.0 from factory they come with 192... but i would recommend going down to 180 but nothing lower.
CJ7's did not come with a 360 V8's they did come with a 304 and the thermostat was a 192 but a 180 will work just fine.
Optima brand batteries are excellent. Any of these would be good for your Jeep. The bold number are the Group numbers.25 (8025-160) RedTop® 34 (8002-002) RedTop® 34/78 (8004-003) RedTop® 75/25 (8022-091) RedTop®
The 160 thermostat should open about 20 degrees sooner than a 180.
I have a 1987 jeep comanache 4.0 that runs hot . I have put in a new 160 degree thermostat , a new eater pump and a radiator and a water sending unit. but it still runs hot . Can any tell me wants wrong? Thanks Rick jrhar36@aol.com
Looks like 190 from the factory. See link for discussion on optional 160 degree thermostat.
160 degree thermosdat
A 160-degree thermostat is designed to open at approximately 160 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that when the engine coolant reaches this temperature, the thermostat will begin to open, allowing coolant to flow from the engine to the radiator. This helps regulate the engine's temperature and prevents overheating. It's important to note that the actual opening temperature can vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances.
a 160 to 180 degree thermostat will work and any auto parts store should be able to get you one.
The best operating temperature for this engine is between 150-160 F. It should not be running at the same as your car which is a higher F. temp. You should have a 160 F. thermostat which will open at or be fully open at 160 F.
A 160 in the summer time and a 180 during the winter.
180 degree is stock but you could also go with 160 degree
Depends on brand and where you purchase it. I spent $160 but found they cost anywhere from $160 up to about $250.
