Fixing P0128 on My 2017 Jeep Wrangler — EASY Thermostat Replacement!
What happens here
Clean the thermostat housing area on the engine block thoroughly to remove any old gasket material or debris. Insert the new thermostat into place, ensuring it sits flush against the engine block. Hand-start the two mounting bolts into their respective holes to prevent cross-threading. Once both bolts are hand-tight, use a torque wrench set to 106 inch-pounds to tighten them securely. The presenter notes that you can also simply hand-tighten them until snug, but using a torque wrench is recommended for precision.
Goal: Securely mount the new thermostat housing to the engine block.
