Perfect OEM Replacement: Our 365-Day Test of the Chrysler/Dodge Coolant Thermostat Housing
Perfect OEM Replacement: Our 365-Day Test of the Chrysler/Dodge Coolant Thermostat Housing
When we first installed this Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly on our 2013 Chrysler Town & Country, we weren’t sure what to expect. After a full year of testing, we’re confident in saying this is a perfect OEM replacement. The housing fit perfectly on our minivan, with all mounting points lining up exactly as they should. We appreciated how the part came with new O-rings and seals, eliminating the need for additional purchases.
Throughout all seasons, the thermostat maintained proper engine temperature, preventing both overheating in summer and ensuring quick warm-up during winter months. Installation was straightforward, taking us about an hour with basic tools. At around $35, it’s significantly less expensive than the dealership part, yet we’ve experienced zero leaks or performance issues after 15,000 miles of driving.
