Product Details

Gates Premium Thermostat line focuses on durable thermostat construction and temperature stability. The 33009S uses a reverse poppet design and a 195 degree opening point, making it a direct-fit cooling system service part for vehicles that call for OE temperature control. This thermostat is listed for applications including Jeep Wrangler, Jeep TJ, Ford Taurus, Dodge Ram 1500, and Mazda B3000, along with many other Ford, GM, Chrysler, and import models. If you are replacing a worn thermostat on a 2000-2007 Ford Taurus or a 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler, this Gates 33009S thermostat matches the specified OE temperature requirement.

This part cross-references Dorman HELP 45359 and Motorad 2000-195 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or taking too long to reach operating temperature
• Temperature fluctuation caused by a weak thermostat spring
• Corrosion-related thermostat wear in the cooling system
• Incorrect coolant flow control affecting heater performance
• OE temperature replacement needs on high-mileage vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify the thermostat housing, gasket surface, and coolant condition before installation. This thermostat does not include a gasket, seals, or installation tool, so match the sealing components to the vehicle service procedure. Confirm the required opening temperature and housing style before installing Gates 33009S in a Jeep Wrangler, Ford Taurus, Dodge Dakota, or other listed application.
