[QUOTE="kevinhomuth, post: 460531, member: 25255"] Sorry should have been more clear, I tracked down an OEM Mopar version at a dealership in Ontario CA. It was $100 but once I put it next to the Napa one it was shocking how much different it was in terms of throw and ID measurement. Once I replaced the water pump with the new gasket it still over heated at high speeds but seemed to be better than it was. But last night I took it on the freeway after installing the OEM T-stat and burping most of the air out and drove 85mph at over 4000rpm and never got past 231 degrees which would have been impossible before. I was getting easily to 260 at 3000rpm at 75mph now even runs at 205 around town. [/QUOTE]
