Thanks Benny, I was leaning on the Dorman as I plan/trying to ensure my Egnine lasts my lifetime - but I guess the redisgn mopar did is better/fixed the issue of original issue? - IDK ppl have thoughts

Which:

Part Number: 68596318AB

or Dorman

Hi Rocky,

I think both solutions address the original issue but in different ways. Since the Dorman was just made available through Mopar we have no feedback on them. When it comes to the latest part number mopar adapters we have not seen any failures or warranties. I do like that the Dorman is aluminum and may offer some additional heat dissipation.

Yeah, we get the option of an aluminum housing so it doesn't warp/crack and leak externally or we get a plastic one with a better internal seal so oil and coolant don't mix. One solves one problem, the other solves the other, neither does both as far as I know. Given the choice I'd rather have the better internal seal. An internal leak might go unnoticed for a while and do some damage. I can easily detect an external leak and there won't be any other damage unless it is a gusher.

I was reading part of the reason they did the plastic/aluminum mix was because of the temperature shifts cold to hot...etc. Its going to do things overtime - modern plastics have come a long way about temperatures and tolerances....etc.
