Review: Works well. Easy to install. - After getting a check engine light on my jeep wrangler , I was able to read the code and found it was a P0128 code indicating the engine was running cooler than expected. This could indicate a thermostat that was stuck open. To further verify that the thermostat was the culprit I used my ODB2 scanner to monitor the coolant temp. With the engine idling in my driveway, the original thermostat was cycling the coolant temp between 190 and 200 degrees which seems a little low for the 3.6L Pentastar engine as that thermostat should just start to open at 203 degrees and reach fully open near 215 degrees. My cabin heat, while ok, was also just not as hot as I was used to. This thermostat install is a relatively simple procedure and there's already a gasket installed on the replacement. I cleaned up the mating surface on the engine with a green scrubby pad to help insure a leak free seal. I also used a small bicycle sized torque wrench to reinstall the bolts and torqued to 105 inch lbs. This is just a little over 8 foot lbs - don't get these mixed up. So the bolts are snugged up nicely but do not need to be cranked super tight. With the new thermostat installed, the coolant temp is now cycling between 200 and 213 degrees. The P0128 code is also gone, and the cabin heat is back to its normal "nice and hot". Make sure you have the proper coolant to add back in to your radiator as you will probably lose 1/2 gallon or more minimum.
