Hi & thanks.
I have an 02 stratus that overheats. Upon inspection, we found the problem: the radiator hose leads to a that has a sensor and a valve attached to a top plate & appears to have blown a gasket between that plate and the box that it's attached to.

Thing is, as I understand, this is supposed to be one unit - if this gasket blows, you must replace the entire . Can anybody tell me what it is so that I can order a replacement?

i believe you are talking about the thermostat housing. replace thermostat also since your taking it out any ways. the thermostat may come with the gasket, or sold seperatly.
