Ripp 180 Degree Thermostat

2011–2018 Ram 2500, 2011–2018 Ram 3500, 2019–2026 Ram 2500, 2019–2026 Ram 3500 6.4L Engine

TH713082

Overview:

The Ripp 180 Degree Thermostat is a precision-engineered cooling system upgrade designed specifically for Ram trucks equipped with the 6.4L HEMI engine. Unlike the factory thermostat that opens at 203°F, this thermostat opens earlier at 180°F, allowing coolant to circulate sooner and maintain optimal engine temperatures. This enhanced cooling efficiency helps protect your engine from overheating, especially under heavy loads or in demanding driving conditions.

Ideal for Ram 2500 and 3500 models from 2011 through 2026, the Ripp thermostat is also a perfect complement to vehicles with upgraded radiators and cooling fans, ensuring your engine stays cooler and runs more efficiently.

Key Features:

Designed to improve engine cooling performance and reliability, the Ripp 180 Degree Thermostat offers the following benefits:

• Opens at 180°F for earlier coolant flow and reduced engine operating temperatures
• Specifically engineered for Ram 6.4L HEMI engines in 2500 and 3500 series trucks
• Enhances cooling system efficiency, especially when paired with upgraded radiators and fans
• Helps prevent overheating during heavy towing, hauling, or high-performance driving
• Durable construction ensures long-lasting, reliable operation
• Compatible with factory cooling system components for straightforward installation
• Supports engine tuning opportunities by providing cooler operating conditions
• Recommended replacement interval every 45,000 miles or 4 years for optimal performance

Construction & Design:

The Ripp thermostat is crafted from high-quality materials engineered to withstand the thermal stresses of heavy-duty engine operation. Its precision valve mechanism reliably opens at the calibrated 180°F temperature, ensuring consistent coolant flow without sticking or premature failure. The robust design maintains sealing integrity to prevent leaks and supports the longevity of your engine’s cooling system.

Manufactured with exact fitment specifications for Ram 6.4L engines, this thermostat integrates seamlessly with OEM housings and cooling components, maintaining factory-level reliability while delivering enhanced performance.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the Ripp 180 Degree Thermostat is a direct replacement process requiring no modifications. It fits Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with the 6.4L HEMI engine from model years 2011 to 2018 and 2019 to 2026. Early 2007 Ram 1500 models with Gen III engines are not compatible.

For best results, it is recommended to replace the thermostat during a full cooling system service, including a coolant flush and inspection of hoses, expansion tanks, and fittings. This ensures optimal coolant flow and system reliability.

What's Included:

• Ripp 180 Degree Thermostat (Part # TH713082)
• Sealing gasket
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

This thermostat is ideal for Ram 2500 and 3500 owners seeking improved engine cooling performance, especially those who tow heavy loads, drive in hot climates, or have upgraded cooling components. It also benefits enthusiasts looking to fine-tune engine parameters by maintaining cooler operating temperatures without triggering cold start warnings.

Regular maintenance users will appreciate the recommended replacement interval to keep their cooling system functioning at peak efficiency.
