How does the cooling system work on a Jeep Wrangler?
A cooling system is comprised of six main parts: Your coolant is designed to absorb heat from the engine block. Coolant is pushed through the engine block via the water pump and then through a series of fins and tubes inside the radiator that allow the heat to dissipate.
Where is the coolant located on a Jeep Wrangler?
Most Jeeps today have a mechanical fan that’s mounted directly to the engine.

What should the thermostat be on a Jeep Wrangler?
Most radiator thermostats are designed to run at about 200 degrees. This one should be obvious, but never take out your thermostat; this would defeat the purpose of your cooling system. Keep in mind the thermostat is used to monitor the temperature of the coolant, hence why it’s placed between the engine and the radiator.
