This design facilitates easy integration with aftermarket coolant accessories or monitoring devices, enhancing the overall functionality of your truck’s cooling system.
Installation is straightforward as this thermostat housing is a direct OEM replacement for the specified Dodge and Ram Cummins diesel models. It fits seamlessly in place of the original thermostat elbow without requiring modifications. The included port plug allows you to seal the auxiliary port if not in use, maintaining system integrity. This part is compatible with Fleece Performance coolant bypass kits, making it an excellent choice for those upgrading their cooling system for improved performance or reliability.
This thermostat housing is perfect for diesel truck owners who want a reliable, direct-fit replacement part with added flexibility for coolant system customization.

ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
