Hi All,
My first post on here. I have a 2011 KK Liberty with an extended Warranty. Because of that warranty I only want to use Mopar parts so they don't pull a fast one on me and deny a repair in the future because of non Mopar parts. I'm doing some cooling system work and I ordered a thermostat from
https://moparonlineparts.com which is owned by Westbury Jeep Chrysler Dodge of Long Island, NY. Today it came. It had no wrapping around it and was just inside of a normal padded envelope. On it I can clearly see on one side of the thermostat it is labeled Motorad. This seems really strange to me and I'm guessing this is not a genuine Mopar part, but is there a possibility Jeep uses a Motorad thermostat as the original? I'm thinking this is fishy but thought I'd check with all of the experience/knowledge on here before calling them.
On another note, I ordered the other parts from Larry H Miller Jeep Chrsyler at
https://www.lhmchryslerjeep.com/ They are the same dealer that sells parts to my side of the country on the official mopar website. I found that going direct from them saved me about 10% than from ordering from the Mopar site. Also, I should have used them for the thermostat because their shipping is cheaper to WA than from NY. Normally, I'd use RockAuto but at the time I ordered they were going to send from 3 separate warehouses and I would have to pay triple the shipping.
Thanks for your time, I'd appreciate your thoughts. I'm guessing I have a complaint call in my future to MoparOnlineParts.
