Product Details

Gates OE Type Thermostats are built to match OEM-equivalent fit and temperature control requirements. Part number 34059 is designed for vehicles that use a bottom by-pass thermostat configuration and a 190-degree opening specification. This makes it a practical choice for drivers servicing cooling system concerns on Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Ram 1500 platforms where stable coolant flow and proper operating temperature are critical.

This part cross-references Motorad 416-192 and Wix 46799 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or too hot
• Delayed warm-up after cold starts
• Temperature fluctuation during normal driving
• Cooling system leaks at the thermostat seal
• Improper coolant flow caused by a worn thermostat

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thermostat housing style, by-pass design, and opening temperature before installation. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the O-ring seat for corrosion or debris. The jiggle pin weep hole should be oriented to help purge trapped air during refill and bleeding. Confirm application details for your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
