GZGN Thermostat Housing Assembly w/Sensor 68003582AB for Dodge & Jeep 2.4L/2.0L — 203°F opening

The GZGN Thermostat Housing Assembly with integrated temperature sensor replaces the factory housing to restore correct engine temperature regulation for compatible Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler 4-cylinder models.

If your vehicle is running too cool, overheating, or showing inconsistent cabin heat, a worn or leaking thermostat housing and sensor assembly can be the culprit. This aftermarket GZGN unit is engineered to match OE fitment for many Dodge Journey, Avenger, Caliber, Sebring, Chrysler 200 and Jeep Compass/Patriot model years that use 2.0L and 2.4L DOHC four-cylinder engines. The assembly includes the thermostat opening calibrated to 203°F and an integrated coolant temperature sensor to communicate with your vehicle’s engine management.

What vehicles and engine types will this housing fit?

This GZGN assembly is designed for a specific range of Chrysler Group platforms. Confirm fitment against your vehicle’s year, engine displacement and OEM part numbers before purchase to ensure proper compatibility.

How does the thermostat opening temperature and sensor affect engine performance?

The thermostat inside this housing begins to open at 203°F, allowing coolant flow to the radiator once the engine reaches its designed operating temperature. Maintaining the correct temperature range helps engine efficiency, combustion stability and cabin heating performance without making claims beyond standard mechanical effects.

• Opening temp: 203°F for consistent coolant control
• Integrated sensor relays accurate coolant temp to the ECU and dash gauge
• Helps reduce uneven warm-up or prolonged cold running
• Plastic housing engineered for corrosion resistance and weight savings

What are the key physical and installation details I should know?

The GZGN housing features a five-port outlet arrangement and three mounting holes for secure attachment. Basic hand tools and coolant drainage are required for replacement; when removing the old housing, inspect surrounding hoses and fasteners for wear and replace gasket surfaces as needed.

• Outlet ports: 5; mounting holes: 3; flange dimensions: approx. 1.25" by 1"
• Material: high-grade plastic designed for automotive coolant systems
• Grade type: regular aftermarket spec, built to match OEM mounting and routing
• Includes integrated sensor — reduces separate wiring swaps during install
