The actual manufacturing/making of many (not all) small automotive components is outsourced by automobile manufacturers to other companies, thus the term original equipment manufacturer or OEM. These parts are made by different companies (to the specific auto mfgs specs) and branded/sold under the automobile manufacturers name thru their dealerships parts dept. Not saying that Chrysler/Jeep does that but, Stant is a OEM supplier of t-stats.

The 4th t-stat or the 4th "fail safe" t-stat? Keep a close eye on things....an overheat, or close to it, caused the fail safe to fail....may want to invest in a infrared temp gun.
