Detailed Product Overview

Dorman 902-3024 is an engine coolant thermostat housing engineered to match the original housing on select Dodge Ram trucks. The metal housing is built for cooling-system service where temperature cycling can stress lesser parts, and the natural finish reflects the replacement-style construction. With a 1.5-inch outlet port and a 180-degree neck angle, this housing supports proper coolant routing on the specified Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models.

Common Repair Uses

  • Replacing a cracked or warped thermostat housing
  • Repairing coolant leaks at the housing flange or outlet
  • Restoring proper thermostat housing alignment after corrosion damage
  • Addressing cooling-system service needs on high-mileage Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the outlet port diameter, mounting hole count, and neck angle before installation. Because the housing is supplied without a thermostat, gasket or seal, bolts, or O-rings, reuse or source the correct service parts for your application. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the surrounding cooling-system components before reassembly.
