Default Where can I find a High Flow Thermostat?

I can't find a vendor anywhere that has a 195* high flow thermostat for a 2000 Jeep Cherokee... I have the Hesco High flow water neck. Hesco sells one but when i look at that exact part number on other sites, they all say it is not compatible...
Anyone have any suggestions?

Ask Heso if theirs fits or if not a part number for one that does work.

In the majority of all case's a high flow thermostat is not required or wanted as they tend to not keep the water in the radiator long enough to be cooled properly.


In a race engine a thermostat is not used but I do use a series of restrictor plates (large washers with holes in them made of aluminum) to get the correct flow of water I have a set of 5 of them.


A stock cooling system on an XJ works out very well if new or VG shape in most all cases.

Bluejeep, that is the part that I linked in the OP. I have seen on other sites like summit that say it is not compatible with the 4.0...

They fit just fine...exactly same size as stock stant...if its cold outside they do run on the cool side but if your in a warm area they work well
