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.
Duralast is ok. Does not have to be OEM. It will work just as good
I've used Autozone's Duralast thermostats without issue on my old Integra.
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.
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.
Gave up and bought the genuine Mopar stat, haven't had issues since.
Oil cooler and radiator. I changed the thermostat when my radiator went. I would recommend using a mopar thermostat as I had two aftermarket fail on me
I warranty my shitty duralast thermostat (I hate duralast but when I gotta get to work the next day it works in a pinch it works) now after a 5 am swap I’m good to go
I’ve changed mine once already recently (it was a duralast thermostat because I’m stupid, that might be the current issue) and it’s still acting similar and trending towards overheating at 60+ mph even with the radiator fans on high. The radiator in lines are frigid after it’s been running at mid/high temps and the radiator out lines are hot
I'd advise taking that Duralast thermostat out and installing either an OEM unit or a unit from a trusted brand (such as Stant). If the Duralast gets stuck in a closed position, the SUV will overheat. If it gets stuck in an open position, the engine won't reach operating temp, and you'll have issues such as running rich. Duralast has a nickname we techs refer to: Duracrap or Dura-doesn't-last.
