Yes, it was a perfect fit for my three children. 6L.

Is there a gasket included, or do I have to purchase one separately?

A SEAL IS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE GASKETS. AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE RENTAL PROCESS

Dodge Durango, model year 2012
5/5

The OEM replacement performs admirably. The thermostat didn't close when it was supposed to, and the engine temperature was too cool, as indicated by the engine code P0128. Around 11 a. m. , the needle usually runs just to the left of center. The temperature of the coolant should be between 190 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. That morning, I'm not sure what happened. It was possible that it was a fluke. Because I didn't want to take any chances, I simply replaced it. This is a very simple task. A flat blade screwdriver and a 10mm socket are all you'll need. This component is compatible with any of the three. I believe it was a 6L pentastar engine from 2011 to 2015. Pull the decorative engine heat shield straight up and away from the engine. It simply detaches itself from the wall. br> On the air intake, loosen the two hose clamps, one near the air box/filter and the other near the intake manifold. Remove the thermostat and set it aside, collecting the coolant in a small trash can (or bucket) because it will leak a quart or more when you remove it. Wiggle the hose clamp on the radiator hose that leads to the thermostat loose, allowing the coolant to flow into your bucket. The two bolts on the thermostat can be removed with a 10mm socket. This was the point at which it all came to a head. Don't let it get all over the place. Reassembly is the exact opposite of disassembly. I'm not sure how tight the bolts should be tightened. I simply made them tight enough. You don't want to go crazy with it because it's just plastic. I bled the line with the small bleeder valve on top of the thermostat after adding about a quarter of new coolant. Simply start the engine and loosen this small cap until it leaks, and you'll be good to go. I repeated this process a few times to ensure that all of the air had been removed. Since then, everything has been fine, and the code hasn't appeared in over a month. This is a product that I would definitely recommend.

It is more expensive, but it is well worth it
5/5

In my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I had a thermostat problem, so I replaced it with an O'Reillys aftermarket thermostat. After a few months of the engine running a little too hot and the radiator fan constantly running at full speed, I realized it could be the thermostat and, rather than risk another aftermarket part with poor performance, I ordered the Mopar part ($$$). After swapping it, my Jeep has been running completely normal again, despite my annoyance at 50% paying 50% more. As a result, it's a clear case of "you get what you pay for. ".

Finally, the correct part: I decided to drain the coolant after experiencing some overheating issues
5/5

To try to fix a leak in the cooling system, some genius used that sealant stuff. My Jeep was purchased used from a dealership, and they stated that the thermostat had been replaced, but that the system had not been flushed. All of this, combined with a mix of Hoat and Oat, has resulted in a huge mess. I drained the system, but the new fluid didn't work. After that, it's off to Autozone to get a new thermostat. It didn't look anything like what was on the Jeep. As a result, I order a mopar and a generic thermostat with housing because I'm not sure which part is correct. After inspecting all three thermostats and housings, I determined that the one in the Jeep from the dealership was not the correct part; however, because the Mopar and generic thermostats were very similar, I installed the Mopar. To cut a long story short, my Jeep no longer overheats after draining and flushing the system, and it doesn't even get hot enough to turn on the high setting on the fan, so spend the extra $10 and get the Mopar. While you're at it, replace the radiator cap as well. I keep skimming out the stop leak stuff that floats to the top of the coolant. When you leave it out in the open, it becomes sticky and hardens. After you've installed and filled your system with new coolant, don't forget to use the funnel to burp it. It makes everything a lot easier.

On the 2014 jku, there was a leak that was fixed
5/5

My 2014 Jeep JKU was a perfect fit. I detected a pleasant antifreeze odor and noticed that the engine was becoming hot. I ran out of coolant and discovered that these things are made of plastic and are prone to hairline cracks and leaks. Yes, after a drive, when my engine was turned off and allowed to cool, it began to leak out the crack after about 15 minutes. This is a very common problem. For the time being, this has resolved the issue. Until this one, too, breaks down in plastic. However, this is something that will hopefully happen in the future.

It is simple to set up
5/5

Normal people in South Texas don't give a damn if your Jeep Wrangler's thermostat is stuck open. San Antonio will have a high of 98 degrees today, April 9th. The temperature dropped to 7 degrees Fahrenheit in the middle of February. Driving the Army M42 Jeep in Germany in 1963 was as cold as it gets. The dealers were all closed due to the freeze. I watched the YouTube videos several times before attempting it on my own. Only four 10mm bolts must be moved, which is good news. The new unit was installed in less than 30 minutes by this 78-year-old man. After 15 minutes of driving, the service code vanished on its own. As a result, I now have the oddest condition for a 2013 Jeep Wrangler: no service codes are displayed.

Great part at a great price, and a simple DIY fix
5/5

I got a $200 discount! I looked up how to replace the thermostat on YouTube and spent about 40 minutes doing so. My Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo was manufactured in 2011. I'm a girl, so this was simple: ) I strongly advise! The check engine light hasn't come on in over a month (it used to be on all the time, with the code reading thermostat). Inspection went without a hitch. Simply put on goggles while performing the repair to keep any splashes from getting into our eyes. I saved a lot of money by buying this part at such a low price!.

For an OEM part with the most recent revision, this is a good deal
5/5

This was installed on our 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with a 3. 0L Cummins engine. OEM parts are superior to aftermarket parts in every way. It wasn't the OEM thermostat and housing when I removed it, and it didn't have a Mopar symbol or mark on it. This is most likely the cause of the coolant leak. After doing some research, I discovered that these have undergone a few revisions over time. I'm hoping I won't have to do it again because this appeared to be the most recent revision. It was successful in resolving the problem and continues to do so today. I have a Trail Dash 2 and can always see the temperature of the coolant while driving. After installing this, I noticed that the coolant temperature fluctuated less than it did with the old thermostat and housing in the Jeep. Significantly improved stability.
