What Does an Auto Thermostat Do?
Reacting in real time to hot or cold temperatures, a car thermostat opens and closes to control the flow of coolant to the engine. When the engine is too hot, the thermostat lets in more cooling fluid. When it's too cold, the thermostat blocks the flow of cooling fluid.
How to Know It's Time To Replace a Thermostat in a Car
Several warning signs indicate that your vehicle's thermostat is ready to be replaced. Generally, look for poor temperature regulation. When you start your car and the thermometer dashboard symbol turns on (common in extreme temperatures, such as cold mornings or hot, sunny afternoons), keep an eye on how quickly it disappears. Most vehicles' temperature dashboard logo will only appear for a couple of seconds. If it lingers, that means your car is struggling to reach stasis.
You may also spot coolant leaking out of your car. This is another common indication of a faulty thermostat.
Why Should You Spring for a Mopar Thermostat?
Genuine parts should be the top choice for your car. While aftermarket products can be tempting, they are simply not worth the risk they pose to your vehicle's safety and reliability. Even a slight mismatch in measurements or material quality can lead to danger on the road, or, at the very least, poor performance and efficiency.
Your car's thermostat plays too important a role to be replaced by a generic aftermarket version. It's best to shop OEM items, such as a Mopar Jeep thermostat parts for your Jeep Wrangler or Ram water pumps for your Ram 1500. The part you need is a simple VIN search away.
What Kind of Thermostat Parts Can You Buy From Mopar OEM?
Coolant is almost always in flux, flowing from the engine to the reservoir to cool down under radiators, then back to the engine to keep it from overheating. A host of parts makes this process work. There is, of course, the thermostat, which senses the engine temperature and adjusts the amount of coolant accordingly. The thermostat sits in a housing unit and uses a valve to control the adjustment. Gaskets hold everything together and prevent leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a thermostat do in a car?
An auto repair thermostat is the gatekeeper between the coolant reservoir and the engine. It senses when the engine is getting too hot or too cold and adjusts the flow of coolant accordingly. Related parts include gaskets, housing, coolant flow valve, and the coolant fluid itself. The overall system is critical to the temperature regulation of your vehicle, which, in turn, affects its performance, efficiency, safety, and longevity.
How do I know if my thermostat needs to be replaced?
You'll know if it's time for a car thermostat replacement when your engine temperature regulation is delayed. This could mean that it takes longer than normal for the thermometer dashboard symbol to shut off after starting your car. It could mean that you notice coolant leaks or unusual noises coming from the engine. Whatever the symptom, anything that seems "off" about your engine should be checked out immediately.
Are thermostats vehicle-specific?
There is no "one-size-fits-all" thermostat for car models. Instead of shopping for generic, aftermarket parts, it's much safer to find the thermostat designed by the same manufacturer that made your vehicle. Mopar OEM sells authorized General Motors parts, which are tailor-made for GM-produced cars. You can easily search our inventory for the compatible part by entering your vehicle identification number and the part name.
