Motorad is the OEM for Mopar thermostats. Try Stant if you're not having luck with Mopar. What's the actual problem and why do you think the thermostat is toast? Perhaps you just needs good flush with some thermocure? -Mac

I don't trust Anything I buy on Amazon. Most of the parts are fakes. If you're looking for looks on a bargain go for it. Now...that being said I did buy a synthetic rope and hawse on Amazon...the red rope turned pink, the black hawse turned brown and bent. I wouldn't risk a bumper.... If you...

Ok...Jeep hemorrhaging oil down the back of the transmission. Round 2...ordered a Dorman from O'Reilly's. Dorman on left. GooPool center. Original Mopar on right. GooPool casting is noticably lighter than the Dorman. Dorman is stamped made in the USA. Dorman cap mentions the conversion to the...

Well the Goopool oil cooler went from leaking worse than the original Mopar plastic one to absolutely hemorrhaging oil. Will be calling all the parts stores here in a bit trying to find the Dorman I thought I was ordering from Amazon but didn't...

Drain some fluid from both...I like using cheap coffee filters...see which one has glitter or chucks. You might get away with draining the fluid, dropping the transmission pan, replacing the filter, flushing the cooler and filling it up with fresh fluids. -Mac

Yeah that laser cut cnc bracket and powder coating is top notch! But...hey...points for fabricating something that clearly works and gets the job done. Even bent that angle iron just right. -Mac

Gave my wife the task of picking out speakers for her Jeep...suggested a component set for the front...explained SPL and said we wanted a low 90s number for good efficiency. I picked out a couple of kicker and polks...she ordered two sets of 77KICK10 and some Rockford Fosgate R1TS tweeters...

You'll find D30 JK takeoffs all over CL and FB. Usually pretty cheap. I'd find a reasonably priced one and it should be a bolt on replacement. Me personally I'd pull it apart, replace the inner axle seals and hubs and inspect and clean everything. Gotta watch for bent axles too. -Mac

Editing videos from yesterday...screen grab from breaking a HF strap on a double line pull in heavy wet snow...and we use shackles here...hard or soft. Wanted a replacement from Factor 55 but $105 is a hard sell. Bought 2 x 20' from Rhino not USA for $50. -Mac

I bought a bent 08 Rubicon D44 for next to nothing. Harvested the factory locker and shafts, plopped them in a G2 housing with a Yukon 5.13 gear set and the Dana 30 outter Cs, brakes etc. Replaced the unit bearings, pads and rotors, seals etc. Tossed in on my '12 JK with a relay and switch in...

Yeah well that was an idiot move. I trust Dorman. Goopool? Really? Probably and most likely the same factory making the Dorman units is sending their own out the back door. Hopefully these aren't ones that failed a QC inspection. -Mac

Well that's a great question...I assumed I ordered a Dorman. I searched for the Dorman on Amazon. I swear I ordered a Dorman...but I guess I didn't...so go figure...and yes putting the 14-17 model year filter solved all the code issues.

Do we have a resources item for the aluminum cooler and should we edit the original post for posterity? -Mac

Ball drops into the oil cooler...the cap is pictured. -Mac

Answered my own question...it does indeed convert it to a 2014-2017 oil filter...Wix WL10010. That or somehow I installed the wrong Dorman oil cooler... Left side is the 2012 and right is the 2014.

Replaced the oil cooler in our 2012 JK with the aluminum Dorman one from Amazon a month or so ago. Came with a new filter and sensors... everything installed fine except all the plastic clips on the coils...did coils and plugs at the same time...broke off and all of them got zip tied down. No...

I bought a Dorman on Amazon a couple of weeks ago and replaced it no issues. -Mac

Cut the top of the boot where it meets the coil...stretchy enough to pull up some...then fill some of the boot with silicone spray and it'll come right off...they spray some break free in for the spark plugs. Facebook post I made has a time lapse...

Back from wheeling at Brown's Camp over the weekend...took our JK and TJ and did Power line, Bates Trail, Firepower and Cedar Tree. Accidentally did a small section of Crusher and got about halfway through Firebreak. Got some great videos for YouTube once I finish editing. Today I pulled the...

One of the ones recommend by Jscan...I even talked to and stumped the developers. I got a new phone a month or so ago... been meaning to try again. -Mac
