Thermostat Upgrade

[marjsyd]

Hi,

Those interested the 2002-2007 Jeep KJ (Liberty/Cherokee) can take the Mishimoto Racing Thermostat - listed as:

Racing Thermostat, fits Jeep Liberty 3.7L 2002-2012: Model: MMTS-JGC-99L​

Ref: https://www.mishimoto.eu/jeep-liberty-3-7l-racing-thermostat-02-12.html

In the hot Aussie sun, my engine was feeling the heat, and as I had warped a block and alloy head before it made me nervous.

I found this replacement thermostat that opens at a much lower 180* F compared to the standard 195* F. If you're in a cooler climate you likely won't need one, but where I am you do not want to cook yourself in the bush.

Not so different from my own reaction - but a more informed, better expressed response.

I have had to remove the Thermostat on my 3.7 V6, but due to my remote location have not been able to replace the faulty one. I live in a mild to warm climate in South Africa and although the vehicle seems to run a bit cooler than with the Thermostat unit, no problems to date. Does anyone have experience and/or comments operating the car without a Thermostat for extended periods?

I think if the title “racing thermostat” disturbs you so much and brings you angst you should reach out to the distributor who coined the title and give them some enlightenment!
