Detailed Description

Motorad 5181KTFS is engineered as an OE supplier replacement for vehicles that need a thermostat housing assembly with precise temperature control and durable sealing surfaces. The housing is manufactured using OEM-quality materials and processes, and the thermostat uses a copper case with wax compound construction to react quickly to coolant temperature changes. This helps maintain consistent engine operating temperature in Chrysler and Jeep cooling systems, including Dodge Dakota, Dodge Ram 1500, and Jeep Grand Cherokee applications.

This part cross-references 95181KTFS for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or too warm due to thermostat control issues
• Coolant leaks at the thermostat housing or sealing surface
• Temperature fluctuation caused by worn thermostat components
• Service replacement for cracked or corroded housing assemblies
• Cooling system maintenance on Dodge Dakota and Ram truck platforms

Installation Notes and Tips
