I just put a new Waller in every 8 to 10 years when it comes time to redo the cooling system. Never had a leaking or stuck thermostat but we do live in Southern California, so I think things tend to last longer Here

Pros: no leaking, no sticking, long lasting

I had the same issue and throwing a bad thermostat error code. I had the thermostat replaced and it kept happening. He said the thermostats out there are crap and they’ve had to change some 3 times. He did recommend getting a Mopar thermostat if I could. It was replaced and I’ve had no issues.

Pros: no issues
Cons: kept happening, thermostats are crap

The OE version is the only one that works. Knock off t-stats will generally last a few weeks to a few months. The OE thermostat has been updated, pops at 203 degrees and lasts much longer than anything else. An OE thermostat seems to fail open. Whereas the knock-offs fail shut.

Pros: lasts much longer, fails open
Cons: last a few weeks, fail shut

I've replaced my thermostat with a new wahler one and I have the same problem which is that it openes at around 70°C and cools my engine to almost 50°C, from what I understand the thermostat is mechanical and electronically assisted to open faster/wider

Cons: opens too early, cools too much

I just replaced the original thermostat at 90,000 miles because at highway speeds it would run slightly cold and took a while to warm up from cold. The new wahler replacement takes just as long and will actually run cold intermittently when not on highway. Occasionally it won’t deviate from center on the highway.

Cons: runs cold, slow to warm up, intermittent cold running
