OEM thermostats are now MotoRad?
Am I going to be paying more for "OEM" from the dealer when I can buy MotoRad thermostats from rockauto for cheap?

Weigh out the shipping cost for RA with a local dealer pick up cost.

I was going to buy a Mopar thermostat because my Stant Superstat has been causing temp fluctuations in cold weather. But then I saw on a thread that the dealer are selling MotoRad under the Mopar name.
This is the MotoRad Premium one, looks like a jiggle valve at the front of the pic:

This one look similar to the one the Jeep dealers are selling now?

What I said earlier was to do a price comparison between rockauto + its shipping rate, and the pick-up price at the dealer.

I'm not as concerned with price as I am with getting a quality thermostat that will maintain my engine temp in colder weather. Seems like my Stant is slow to respond.
This is the other style MotoRad offers, the standard version (Part # 200-195) looks like this, which doesn't appear to have the jiggle valve.
Thanks for the help guys

Someone needs to buy a factory stat from the dealer and then pirate any info they can from the actual part in the box.
