Dodge Dakota Thermostat

The Dodge Dakota Thermostat controls engine temperature so that the truck stays operational. The Thermostat, which is positioned near the radiator, remains closed when the warm coolant is coming at high speed. Hence, it allows the engine to reach its sweet spot quickly, and then the wax-pellet core expands, opening the valve to send coolant through the radiator to stop overheating. Earlier Dakota models had this simple mechanical Thermostat, which was popular because it was known to be effective, durable, and fast-acting. Also, modern Dakota owners like the fact that it is the same unit that they too received. Subsequent Dodge versions retained the same wax technology, but upgraded seals and spring strength enable the Thermostat to have a longer life, resist corrosion, and not interfere with operation. In contrast to household systems which can be analog or programmable, the single-stage device on the truck focuses only on inverting coolant flow on or off. Further, this keeps temperature within a narrow band. When a failure occurs, the Thermostat typically locks open or closed, causing the gauge to swing high or low and indicating that drivers need to swap it out. This protects any Dodge Dakota from heat damage and helps each Dodge provide reliable performance mile after mile.
