Coolant hose connector

[Jcl]

L shaped coolant hose going into top of front of engine. Hooked to connector that broke. Any ideas on the repair procedure? Thanks

Maybe. I thought pcv was at the back. This is under the metal connector going into the intake that I have the 3 hoses off of.

That's the heater hose outlet on the lower thermostat housing. If original consider yourself very lucky. Lower t-stat housings are one of the most common failures with 4.0L SOHC engines. Here's a great repair tutorial:

If its the T-Stat housing I would HIGHLY recommend the Aluminum Assembly from SimmonAutoSportz. I just replaced mine last week. Very happy with the entire part assembly. I installed a new M/C thermostat, bypass hose and heater hose (the one in your picture that is disconnected.

I also cleaned the valley out and deleted the "pillow" below the intake Manifold.
