Dear imager-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. This procedure is relatively simple – even if you’ve never
done it before.

As a 1994 Cherokee owner myself, I am providing you with the precise
instructions directly from the CHILTON’S JEEP
WAGONEER/COMANCHE/CHEROKEE 1984-96 REPAIR MANUAL (8143) 40602; PAGE
3-27; THERMOSTATE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION:

REMOVAL

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable

2. If necessary, disconnect the coolant temperature sensor electrical
connector.

3. Remove the attaching bolts and lift the housing from the engine.

4. Remove the thermostat and gasket.

INSTALLATION

5. Clean all gasket surfaces thoroughly.

6. Place the thermostat in the housing with the spring inside the
engine.

7. Install a new gasket with a small amount of sealing compound
applied to both sides.

8. Install the water outlet and tighten the attaching bolts to 30 ft.
lbs. (41 Nm).

9. Connect the coolant temperature sensor connector to the housing.

10. Refill the cooling system

That’s all there is to it. I highly recommend you buy one of these
manuals. I am the original owner of my Jeep and haven’t really had a
lot of problems since I bought it new in 1994. When I did have a
problem though I’ve saved myself bundles of the years by investing in
the Chilton’s Manual and because I’m not real mechanically inclined
when it comes to automobiles the pictures and diagrams of the actual
work in progress help out tremendously. They don’t cost a great deal
and take my word for it, you WILL be glad you bought one. In fact, my
wake-up call happened when I had a sensor go out on my transmission
and my mechanic wanted $240 to fix it. I am too cheap to pay that kind
of fee, so I bought the manual (for about $12 at that time) and bought
the sensor I needed (for $23) at the same parts house (AutoZone) and
installed it myself in my backyard in under 20 minutes – and I didn’t
even know the sensor existed before that day. Needless to say my
manual has paid for itself many, many times over. If I can do this job
you can do it too…go for it - I have faith in you!

Here you can see and purchase the very same book I am using to help
you with:

AMAZON
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0801991072/carmanuals02-20/102-3503834-0876966

You can usually buy the manual off the shelf in your hometown too at
parts places like AutoZone, Pep Boys, Wal Mart (sometimes) or if
you’re lucky you might even find it in you local library.

I hope you find that that my research exceeds your expectations. If
you have any questions about my research please post a clarification
request prior to rating the answer. The manual doesn’t say anything
more than what I’ve offered here and of course I have no way of
getting the pictures to you, but really, I think with what I’ve given
you here you should be able to do this job successfully. I welcome
your rating and your final comments and I look forward to working with
you again in the near future. Thank you for bringing your question to
us.

Best regards;
Tutuzdad-ga
