Just watched as a refresher since I have to wait a cpl more days before the T-stat gets here. Had to order it. Best to use a 195 degree <I use Stant> and even after you made mention of the bleeder valve, you put it in at 3 o'clock which I kinda laughed about, but maybe at the end you caught it, Just paused to send this lol Good to show others that thats what it looks like stuck open, props to that.

whatever you do, i HIGHLY recommend NOT purchasing a Premium Motorad FAILSAFE thermostat. it is designed to fail; and fail it will, very shortly after you install it, under normal warm driving circumstances.

I installed mine with the breather hole piece in about the 10oclock position do you think that will be an issue ?

Nicely documented via a video.

Dose that year still have temp gauge sensor on back of head by firewall. The 4.0 always had an air gap back there that you had remove sensor to burb or you would have engine temperature fluctuations

Great detailed job!!
