C-Tzu Aluminum Thermostat Housing Assembly for Jeep Grand Cherokee Wrangler & Dodge Durango 3.6L V6 – Direct-Fit, OEM Temp 95°C

C-Tzu's upgraded aluminum thermostat housing assembly replaces worn plastic housings to improve durability and restore reliable engine coolant flow for compatible Jeep and Dodge 3.6L V6 models.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for specific OEM part numbers (including 05184651AF, 5184651AG, 902-852 and others), this thermostat housing assembly is engineered for Jeep Grand Cherokee (2011–2015), Wrangler (2012–2017, JK 2018) and Dodge Durango (2011–2015) with the 3.6L V6. The assembly uses an aluminum shell instead of plastic to resist heat, corrosion and wear while keeping the factory thermostat opening temperature of 95°C. It ships with a one-year warranty and matches the original mounting points and coolant passages for straightforward installation.

How does this thermostat housing improve reliability over the original part?

The main upgrade is the aluminum construction, which reduces risk of cracking, warping or coolant seepage that sometimes occurs with plastic housings after repeated heat cycles. That means fewer breakdowns related to housing failure and a longer service interval.

• Aluminum alloy shell resists high temperatures and corrosion.
• Improved wear resistance compared to OEM plastic housings.
• Factory mounting points preserve original fit and sealing surfaces.

Will this fit my vehicle and replace the OEM part number I have?

This assembly is a direct-compatible replacement for a range of OEM numbers and fits 3.6L V6 models listed in the compatibility set. Cross-referenced numbers include 05184651AF, 5184651AG, 5184651AF, 902-852 and SK902852 among others, ensuring broad interchangeability.

• Compatible with Dodge Durango 2011–2015 3.6L V6.
• Compatible with Jeep Grand Cherokee 2011–2015 3.6L V6.
• Compatible with Jeep Wrangler 2012–2017 and Wrangler JK 2018 3.6L V6.

What are the thermal and performance characteristics I should expect?

The thermostat opening temperature remains at the factory 95°C specification to maintain correct engine warm-up and cooling behavior. The housing itself promotes consistent coolant flow and reliable sealing to prevent leaks that can affect engine temperature control.

• Thermostat opening temperature: 95°C (factory spec).
• Designed to preserve OEM coolant routing and flow rates.
• Reduces likelihood of leak-related overheating episodes.

How easy is installation and what comes with the part?

Installation is comparable to the original housing: remove the old assembly, clean the mating surfaces, and fit the C-Tzu housing using existing bolts and gaskets. The assembly is made to match original bolt patterns so experienced DIYers and professional technicians can complete the job quickly.

• Direct-fit design for original mounting points and coolant ports.
• No modification required for compatible vehicles.
• Backed by a one-year warranty for quality assurance.

Who is this for: C-Tzu's aluminum thermostat housing assembly is built for Jeep and Dodge owners and mechanics who need a durable, direct-replacement cooling component for the 3.6L V6 powertrains listed above. Choose this part if you want a longer-lasting alternative to brittle plastic housings, need a unit that matches OEM fitment and thermostat calibration, or are restoring coolant system reliability after a leak or failure. It’s also appropriate for fleet maintenance where reduced downtime and parts longevity matter.
