What does AFM mean on this thermostat gasket?

AFM stands for Active Fuel Management. This gasket is designed to work with Chrysler Gen-2 Hemi engines that feature this technology, which can shut down cylinders to save fuel under certain driving conditions.

Why is the thickness of the gasket important?

The .032 inch thickness is an exact match to the original equipment specification. Using the correct thickness ensures a proper seal between the thermostat housing and the engine block, preventing coolant leaks and maintaining correct engine temperature.

What vehicles does this gasket fit?

This gasket fits a broad selection of Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth vehicles. Examples include the Chrysler 300 (2005-2019), Dodge Challenger (1970-1971), and Plymouth Barracuda (1968-1969, 1971), among many others.
