Common Cooling Issues It Can Address

• Engine running too cool after thermostat wear or incorrect opening temperature

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify housing dimensions, flange diameter, and the 160 degree opening specification before installation. Clean the thermostat housing and sealing surfaces thoroughly, and replace any damaged gasket or seal components as required by the application. Confirm coolant level and bleed air from the system after service to help the thermostat operate correctly.
