Dorman 902-3036 Engine Coolant Thermostat Housing Assembly Compatible with Select Models

This worked great. Very easy install. As someone else stated, there is a sharp peice of metal by the thermostat that will cut your had a small bit. But easy process to do your self and product works great.

The Dorman 902-3036 Engine Coolant Thermostat is a high-quality replacement part that fits perfectly in my 2013 Dodge Caravan 3.6L engine. I've been using it for over 15,000 miles now, and it's been working flawlessly. The thermostat maintains the engine at the correct temperature, ensuring optimal performance and fuel efficiency. I'm very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a new engine coolant thermostat for their Dodge Caravan.

Exact fit and fas delivery.

works great on my 2018 dodge journey. keeps the heat about 210 when running. direct replacement and works just as well as the oem one. does not leak with the gasket that is provided. is made out of plastic and the old one crumbled when taking it off.

Price wise, coupled with Prime, the value on this thermostat is great. I had purchased one almost exactly a year ago for my Avenger which at the time had around 50k miles. Unfortunately, the same issue arose early October of 2023 and I bought another to replace (now 65k miles). I have no issue spending ten bucks to replace the part but the bolts that hold it in are not easy on a compact engine bay such as the Avenger. I would imagine that something with the same engine, such as a Grand Caravan, would be marginally easier to install. Not the fault of Dorman that its tight to install. Will buy again if needed.

Product matched original. Easy Install. Check engine light went away. So far so good!

It works well with my Dodge Grand Caravan 2012 SXT.It takes about 45 minutes to install it.That's definitely a good price for the original part replacement.

Made of cheap plastic, the housing broke during install. It was a complete waste of money since I bought it and didn't install it until after the return period. And it's crazy that it broke since the torque spec for the bolts is only 108 inch-pounds (9 ft/lb), so it's not like I was cranking down on it with much force at all.Installation looks like it should be easy, however there are a couple problems... the bolts are Torx T-30 screws, and although they look like 10mm bolts, they are somewhere between 3/8" and 10mm, so you can't get a 10mm wrench on them securely. It's unbelievable that engineers chose this instead of just using 10mm bolts.There is razor sharp metal directly across from the thermostat, so you will slice up your gloves or hands or both and I could not get duct tape or electrical tape to stick to it to protect from further cuts.The shop manual suggests removing a bunch of components, but I was able to remove the nut from the power steering reservoir and just move it back and forth as needed to gain access.
