Since I have ordered the proper thermostat, where is the weep hole supposed to align? I noticed this big notch to the right and thought maybe there.
Position the new thermostat so its air bleed hole on its flange is at the very top.Since I have ordered the proper thermostat, where is the weep hole supposed to align? I noticed this big notch to the right and thought maybe there.

Just noticed the new one doesn't even have a bleed hole! I got it from a dealership too! Wonder why? I don't want to put in another Thermostat that fails after 5 months!
Because in most common conditions that usually means the wrong temperature thermostat was installed.I thought in the other thread you said it was holding steady idling at 192...why are you changing the thermostat?
It sounds like you have the correct thermostat now, but it doesn't have a bleed hole. You can still proceed with the thermostat installation but may need to burp the system a little more thoroughly to ensure no air pockets are present. If you feel more comfortable having a bleed hole, you can drill a small hole in the thermostat in the location indicated in the linked thread. Just be careful not to drill too deep, as you don't want to damage the thermostat or restrict the flow of coolant.Because in most common conditions that usually means the wrong temperature thermostat was installed.

That's surprising to me. Mine has idled at or very close to 210 in my local temperate conditions since my first new TJ in 1996. I guess that would be normal in cool or cold conditions though.Idling at 192 is exactly what every 195 degree stat I've ever used has done.

Ok thanks, now it all makes sense to me.They are using scan tools to get the temp. About as useful as installing temp senders in the combustion chambers.

I'm confused because I used OBD-II to get my temperatures and as you can see above it hits the 210-degree mark as expected. For me the scan tool has always worked as expected.
