How easy to change out thermostat on 1995 Grand Cherokee???

TJM did pass the time by typing:

One banana job.

The bolts go to 16 ft.lbs and keep track of the long bolt.

And yes, your better off putting a new gasket in there. Usually when you take the housing off the old gasket gets fubar.

Thanks for the tip.....do I even need to remove the hoses? It looks like I might be able to remove the bolts and change out the thermostat without even removing the hoses.....is it possible?

TJM did pass the time by typing:

Yes, it's possible. The hose clamps are fairly easy to remove with just a pair of vicegrips and you should check the hoses anyway for swelling or cracks.

Why do you want to change the stock thermostat? Are you changing it to a different heat? If I recall correctly there have been discussions here in the past about how putting in a non-stock thermostat will upset the computer. It expects a certain engine temperature to work correctly.
