You, good sir, rock.

 

This look like you?

:-( This one only has a 1 year warranty---the one for my 258 has a lifetime

USE the "NOV2" promo and get it for $15.29!

I believe that the part number is either AMCENGINE or 151SUX.

Define "Proper"?

Don't think this will fly if you don't have a serviceable one?

Maybe I was reading this wrong, I thought a stat housing was the issue, not an adapter?

This is the part I need to replace "first". I need a new one of thee without all the (not sure what he tried to fix it with...) jb weld?

 

Is this it?

Crown J3235347 Thermostat housing, fits 1981-86 Jeep CJ with 2.5l or 4.2L engines | Bernie's CJ Jeep Parts

 

Morning folks! It seems to me that we are making a simple job into a hard one.

This isn't a part for a Ferrari V12. GM made millions of these engines. Take the old one to your favorite parts store and tell them what it fits. If the computer operator tell you there is no such item listed for a Jeep ask to see the senior parts salesman, Where I shop, he is the outside sales guy.

A quick search on O'Reilly's web page comes up with this, Murray Climate Control Water Outlet 84802 | O'Reilly Auto Parts (oreillyauto.com) . If I order it now, I can pick it up later this morning.

We don't have to use the online parts suppliers unless they have a part no one else has. The benefit of buying local is you can compare the old with the new, and you establish some rapport with them, and they will help you find the actual hard to find part. Rarely do they charge shipping and if they get the wrong part the return is on their dime.

Good luck!

 

The VIN lookup on oreilly's part was king.

I'll swing by my local oreilly's this weekend.

Thanks all.

It's the iron duke 4 cylinder.

80 CJ7 Iron Duke lower thermostat housing

I have a 1980 CJ7 with a 151 cu. in. Iron Duke engine that has a cracked lower thermostat housing. Anyone have one of these sitting around collecting dust that you know of and would like to part with? Please?

So, this is the complete unit? And everyone’s finding the upper half. What’s needed is the lower, correct?( this one has sold )

 

Thank you YES. I need the lower housing. Couldn't find the part number. I THINK I see it as 100190BC or 1001909C on the part in your picture above (and I'm coming up dry in 5 mins of google)

 

Found on another forum. GM part #10005275

Unfortunately, not finding the part anywhere. Sounds like I may be searching salvage yards.

 

Found one, maybe?

I’ve requested confirmation they have the part. We shall see…. Thanks!

 

Mine cracked and I never did find a replacement when I was looking a year ago. I know they were in a lot of GM cars and S-10’s but I came up empty locally and had it welded by a pot metal welder called Pot Metal Repair. It’s been holding up well since then.

 

Mine looked like this:
