The Mopar stats (mfg by Motorad) can be had from Rockauto, and are generally well regarded, if more expensive than generic parts store units.

Pros: generally well regarded
Cons: more expensive

In case anyone else comes across this post, it was the aftermarket thermostat. I managed to get a hold of a mopar one yesterday and the gasket around it was just slightly larger than the aftermarket one and needed a little bit of resistance to seat it. Now my truck is getting up to temperature quickly and working great.

Pros: truck working great
Cons: aftermarket thermostat bad

I highly suggest only getting genuine mopar. Myself and others have had issues with the generic part store thermostats that were fixed by using mopar.

Pros: genuine Mopar fixed issues
Cons: generic part store issues

I just bought one off RockAuto. I have to overhaul my entire coolant system and through some searching on this subreddit I saw a lot of people saying the Motorad brand kept failing after a few months. I didn\u2019t want to risk it so I opted for the Mopar thermostat from RockAuto for $35.

Cons: Motorad brand kept failing

Yep, these are a known bitch to bleed out the air, as well as aftermarket thermostat's not working well after replacement. I have seen some go thru a few to get one that works.

Cons: thermostat not working well
Vehicle: Jeep

The thermostat failed twice. Once at like 80k miles and again at 115k miles. The second time it failed I replaced it with an aftermarket one that had a metal stem instead of plastic. It made it until we traded it in.

Pros: aftermarket lasted
Cons: failed twice, plastic stem
Vehicle: Jeep Renegade
Mileage: 80000 km
