Well I was having some issues with heat this week. My temp gage was all over the place, I wasn't getting any heat and the main hose off the rad was luke warm. So naturally I think thermostat. So yesterday I pull off the cover (which by the way is harder on a ZJ than an XJ because of the stupid fan shroud, lol 
). When I pull out the thermostat I notice I am missing the spring and part of the ring clip that holds it together. The spring was very easy to recover but that ring clip took me 50 min to extract. It was the hardest thermostat change I have ever had, lol. Not sure what caused the failure especially since APJ's installed the motor last month. Now all I need is to get an OBD 2 reader to clear the "Check Engine" light.
