If you’re dealing with a leaky or cracked thermostat housing on your Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep, this upgraded aluminum replacement might be just what you need. It fits a bunch of models: Chrysler 200 (2011-2014), Sebring (2007-2010); Dodge Avenger (2008-2014), Journey (2009-2020), Caliber; Jeep Compass (2009-2017), Patriot (2013-2017) – specifically for the 2.4L 4-cylinder engines (and some 1.8L/2.0L). The part number matches OEM 68003582AB, so it should be a direct swap. The housing itself is made from durable aluminum (better heat and pressure resistance than plastic), and it comes as a complete kit: includes two thermostats (one large, one small for the sensor), the housing, and two O-rings. The thermostats open around 203°F. Installation is straightforward if you’re mechanically inclined – just make sure to follow proper coolant refill and burping procedures afterward. A quality aftermarket fix that can save you a trip to the dealership. Always double-check fitment for your specific year and engine before ordering!
