Good part.

I recently replaced my water pump and installed this thermostat in anticipation of a road trip through hot desert weather. I noticed my engine runs a lot cooler, just in time for summer weather. During my road trip through Arizona, New Mexico hot weather, I would take naps at rest stops in 114 degree weather during the day with the AC on and engine idling. Engine temperature kept running very cool not going above the 195 degree limit. Again, this is in 114 HOT DESERT WEATHER. No way I was able to do that with the previous thermostat rated at 195 degree temperature, engine idle would overheat. I did notice my miles per gallon rating changed from 13.6 to 13.2, so engine might use a little more gas since the computer will try to keep engine at 195 degree temperature as programmed. I still find this thermostat worth it since the area where I live has too many up hills that will stress my 2004 Dodge engine. I recommend this thermostat ONLY in HOT weather areas of the country.

Simple job, work fine

went on with no problems on a 04 dakota 3.7l. the gasket being included at this price is a plus. 4* because i'll have to see about durability, but you find out pretty quickly if a thermostat is bad or not.

Very happy with this item

Installed this on a 2004 dakota that was having overheating issues. The 180 thermostat opens up faster than the stock thermostat and helps keep the engine running cooler during these hot Virginia summers.

My Dodge needed a water pump and found this one and one that came with the housing. Decided on both because of the temp. Difference. 1 being 180 and the other a 90. I like options. This way I can put the right one in.

Used this one to replace my jet 180 that's started to act weird in less than a year. Will see how this holds up.
