Best Thermostat for Jeep Cherokee

Bought a Stant from RockAuto and it has been going strong for over 5 years now.

The Motorcraft thermostat sounds promising though, never have an issue with genuine ford parts.

I use a Stant 205. No problems for me, and they're pretty well recommended.

I've had no problems with the stant line either

I get the NAPA gold ones. They're a reboxed stant superstat and I've never had that product line give me a dud.

Finally got around to replacing the thermostat on my 2000 XJ. Temp rarely hit 210 unless I was idling for a while so I suspected a bad thermostat. Sure enough it was stuck in the open position. I was able to find an OEM one part # 5202 8186AC. 195 degree with a weephole. Noticeable difference in performance and it’s nice to have heat again.

Motorad isn't a good brand. You don't want to do the job again in a year.

I tried a parts store Motorad, failed. Tried a Napa gold stat that turned out to be repackaged Motorad, failed.
