    How to: Replace a thermostat on a 2000 4.0L SOHC V6

    replacement thermostats and upper housing leaks So around a year or 2 ago the water pump gave out and I replaced it.

    Coolant leak.

    I recently replaced the lower thermostat housing in my 2000. It was hard to see and get to but it had a crack in it. Of course it's still leaking and I'll have to dismantle it again.

    I smacked the motor later that night with a set of channel locks and it fired up. I replaced the motor yesterday. The gasket came off with only one break and it was fine to re-use on the new motor. The clip doesn't seem that great but it's ok. Motor is working fine again without too much...

    blower motor Mine is doing the same thing. Last Friday I went to leave and the blower motor would not turn on. After driving home and letting the truck sit for a bit I tried again and the blower motor started up. It worked fine for several days and stopped and started here and there. Today...
