Mahle is the OE replacement for the thermostat, the Chrysler logo is on the part but sanded down. Autozone sells them with PT# TI23695 I just replaced mine last weekend.
Best Thermostat for Jeep Grand Cherokee
I replaced mine with this one and it has been running perfectly for 6+ months after my original one stuck open. I would not buy anything other than Mopar.
The brand new thermostat wasn’t opening all the way. One new Gates thermostat fixed the issue.
I replaced the one in my sisters V8 WJ with Mopar and it was made in Israel and very high quality.
MAHLE was the last thermostat put in her… no issues happened since then to this day, continues to runs fine, no fluctuations in gauge, or overheating. The dealership even started to have that issue with other customers until we switch to Mahle, solve all thermostat issues.
Friend has a similar year Jeep GC V6 with 350k km (like 215k miles?). While it still runs great, it goes through a thermostat about every 6 months. Her husband is a mechanic and has the job down to about 20 min but still annoying.
I had a very similar issue. Radiator and Thermostat replaced after accident. 2014 WK2 3.6 V6 was overheating when I drove up the mountains in Colorado. The problem was the mechanic put a Napa thermostat in, then replaced with another napa thermostat. I bought a MOPAR thermostat and swapped it myself.
