Buy ONE gallon of FULL STRENGTH, then dump HALF of it in an old, empty antifreeze bottle. Then fill BOTH bottles the rest of the way with water. This gives you two gallons of 50/50 antifreeze.

Brass thing on top. Thermostat should "point" at you.

So the spring part goes on the inside. OK them I installed it correctly. How far does the metal tube on the water pump need to be screwed in?

I got it as tight as I could. Had to jump a few times to get enough force.

Maybe because if they added XJ's, they'd have to recall like 5 million vehicles, instead of just the 2.7 million ZJ's and liberties.
