Misc. cooling system parts?

[HoosierJeeper]

Getting the tstat and radiator replaced (ordered Mopar for both) on the KJ, is there a gasket or something for the tstat that I need to order separately? Also, where can I get the OEM style hose clamps? I can get them from the junk yard but I don't know if they have a life span.

If you order the mopar thermostat, one it is already on it. I wasn't sure and ordered the fel pro one from rockauto when i did mine.

Anyway, had an extra.

I reused my hose clamps. Also tossed the spring inside the lower rad hose when i did the replacements. Used gates also rock auto.

I would also replace the radiator hoses as well and if you have never replaced the heater hoses those maybe a good idea.

Thanks, got the clamp PN from that thread.

Rad hoses are 2 years old, heater hoses are original, I'll check them out.

Is the tstat housing reuseable?
