Product Details

Gates OE Type Thermostats are engineered to deliver accurate coolant flow control and consistent operating temperature. The 33029 thermostat uses an OE-style form factor with a sealing flange diameter of 2.13 in, a height of 2.24 in, and a flange thickness of 0.05 in. Its bottom by-pass layout and jiggle pin weep hole support proper coolant circulation and easier air purge after installation. This thermostat is a strong match for drivers searching for a 188 degree thermostat for 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII, 1995-2002 Lincoln Continental, 1996-1999 Ford Mustang, 2001 Ford Mustang, and 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder cooling system service. This part cross-references Motorad 338-195 for the same application.

Common Cooling System Issues It Can Address

  • Engine running cooler or hotter than specified
  • Slow warm-up after cold starts
  • Temperature fluctuation during stop-and-go driving
  • Cooling system service on an OE-style replacement thermostat
  • Restoring proper coolant flow control in the thermostat housing

Installation Notes

Verify the thermostat orientation, by-pass design, and opening temperature before installation. Clean the housing sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the coolant system for contamination or worn hoses before reassembly. Because no installation tool is included, use the correct service tools for your vehicle and follow the factory bleed procedure to remove trapped air.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs OE Type Thermostats for OEM-equivalent fit and precise temperature regulation. The 33029 is built to meet the needs of the listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications with a service-ready OE-style design.
