I got a Mopar thermostat from the dealer a few months ago. Works much better than the previous two aftermarket units
Pros: works much better
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 replaced the thermostat in my wifes 2014 journey with the V6. It was an easy and straight forward job.
Pros: easy and straight forward

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
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
Stick with Mopar thermostat. I went off brand and it didn\u2019t work correctly.
Cons: didn't work correctly

I replaced mine with this one and it has been running perfectly for 6+ months after my original one stuck open. I would not buy anything other than Mopar.
Pros: running perfectly, long-term reliability
