Hey @Irun , can you post a pic of your gates tstat housing? Like you, I've had good luck with their water pumps, but when I bought their tstat housing it was pretty rough ... more than I felt like cleaning up. I had much better luck w/ the Dorman.

Don't worry about the grinding. I did not even bother to pull out calipers. I just put the old manifold up near the new one and my son used the flap disk until the two parts were visually near the same thickness. Once close, use the intake manifold ( while still off the jeep) and put them...

Yeah. I am sure it will crack like all the others, but for the price and the fit, I would definitely purchase it again. This is a very easy procedure on our engines, so even if it lasts only 2-3 years, ill be happy. to be honest, I kind of look forward to swapping it out again. The 4.0...
