Mr Gasket high flow. I've ran them for years in different vehicles and never had one fail.

I went with this one, that the seller says works in my Jeep through their widget, and VIN verification:

That is going in the next time I replace the hose, I have the 1996 factory original in there now.

Also ordered a new radiator cap, to replace the 1996 factory original as soon as it comes in.

Not the first time I've seen it dip that low after fully warming up. I believe it was a common part out of O'Reilly's maybe.

What's a decent quality and not too high priced thermostat I could get for my engine that won't be failing anytime soon?
I think rockauto usually has the MOPAR items priced higher but shipping is cheaper. The exact opposite is true for we r mopar. Try both, see which ones cheaper.
