🌡️ EVIL ENERGY Thermostat 05184651AF | Compatible with [specific devices] Review

Did the Dealer Charge $600 to Fix a Coolant Leak? I replaced the hose first and found the thermostat housing had a crack so we ordered this unit and it fit like it came from the factory! There is no more leak and I think it only takes us a few hours to replace the parts and $50. The product corresponds to the declaration, fits as it came from the factory, no problems.

Quality replacement part, about $10 cheaper than OEM. You can save another $10 by just replacing the thermostat in the original case, but I read a review that talked about microcracks developing in the plastic case - I think it's safer to replace the entire unit. Cleared the P0128 trouble code (which clears the Check Engine Light aka MIL) and all is good (so far).

Was happy with the original unboxing of the thermostat but looks like I received a broken one. It doesn't seem to open, stayed closed, brought it up to normal operating temperature, drove it around my area. I live in the mountains so there are a decent number of hills so the motor runs pretty well. I've had coolant bubbling in my receiver at home and the radiator didn't have this problem before I replaced it simply because my original case had a hairline crack. I'll just go ahead and get an OEM

This is my 4th thermostat and housing on my 2012 Wrangler...243,000 miles...of 4 I've had . It has a better plastic body , and the spring and thermostat holder don't look late. The factory and 2 others are not a good match. I think some of the issues with them are misalignment causing them to stick. The aftermarket models lasted 18 and 11 months, only 300 miles on this Evil Energy unit but I like what I'm seeing. I hope I don't need another one, but I will buy this one again if the need arises.
