Thermostat is broken or someone changed non-original thermostat.
Those do not work.
Only working (which is also oem) spare part is Motorad Cold climate zone thermostat 5461-82K.
Other does not work. Tested 10+ thermostat on here skandinavia.
Mahle is the OE replacement for the thermostat, the Chrysler logo is on the part but sanded down. Autozone sells them with PT# TI23695 I just replaced mine last weekend.
motorad from rockauto is doing me good so far
MOTORAD 7416203 with 203 temp is good.
I’ve been using Germany-made Mahle thermostat for years. Now it throws a code that the heater doesn’t work (so it won’t open electrically, but mechanically it is working just fine), but no leaks.
I did notice before I recently got safety/emission test for plate renewal, i wanted to confirm the I/M readiness had ran, that at idle, the full trims were extremely rich. I'm leaning towards the lower tstat having something to do with that. I have a 195 motorad(blah) that i had just installed before the plenum work. ECT didn't break 178 degrees on a highway cruise at 95+ degrees. That seems to be right at the threshold for the current dtc.
I had issues with the MotoRad that every parts store in Canada seems to sell
issue that i noticed is that the jiggle pin is inside the bridge, compared to the standard one. i have installed the thermostat, bled the coolant, and still made sure that the jiggle pin and head gasket carve out lines up at the 12oclock position when installing; but now theres some ticking noise sometimes and i can feel my heater blowing really hot air (warmer than the usual heat).
Motorad isn't a good brand. You don't want to do the job again in a year.
Installed a Motorad thermostat and noticed the temp gauge dropping on the highway. I never had this issue before I changed the tstat
