What is the activation temperature of this Mishimoto thermostat?

This Mishimoto thermostat is designed to activate at a lower temperature of 174 degrees Fahrenheit. This is slightly cooler than the stock thermostat, which typically opens around 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

Will this thermostat fit my 1995 Dodge Ram 1500?

This specific Mishimoto thermostat (MMTS-RAM-94L) is designed for the 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models with the 5.9L Cummins engine. Please check the application guide for fitment on other Ram models.

What is the benefit of a lower activation temperature thermostat?

A lower activation temperature allows coolant to circulate through the engine's cooling system earlier. This helps to keep the engine running at a cooler overall temperature, which can be beneficial in hot weather or during heavy towing.

About this part

Product Details

If you're dealing with a 5.9L Cummins in your 1994-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and you're noticing higher-than-normal engine temperatures, especially in warmer weather or when towing, a faulty thermostat could be the culprit. This Mishimoto low-temperature thermostat is designed to replace your original unit and help manage engine heat more effectively.

Unlike the stock thermostat that opens at 180 degrees Fahrenheit, this Mishimoto unit begins opening at 174 degrees Fahrenheit. This slight change means coolant circulates through your engine's cooling system a bit sooner, which helps to reduce and maintain overall lower operating temperatures. It's a well-built replacement that can make a noticeable difference in keeping your engine running reliably, particularly under demanding conditions or in hotter climates.

This thermostat is a direct-fit replacement, meaning it's made to install in the factory location without needing any modifications. It comes with Mishimoto's Lifetime Warranty, so you can be confident in its quality and durability.
