4.0 SOCH thermostat type?

Hi All,

I'm gonna service my cooling system and replace a few hoses and my thermostat in the 4.0L. Anyone know how to check what temp it is? Or is there a standard. I see 3 possible types. Its a stock engine except for K/N air filter. Im the original owner and I live in California.

Any suggestions?

Thanks all,

the only way to tell is to take it out and read the bottom of it....the opening temp is stamped into the bottom of it.....

I think its a 192, well most are. I only know of cooler ones to buy not hotter. Stick with the stock one.
