This thermostat is listed for 2011-2025 Ford F-150, 2015-2024 Ford Mustang, 2022-2023 Ford Explorer, 2021-2023 Lincoln Aviator, 2019-2023 Lincoln Nautilus, 2015-2021 Ford Edge, 2020-2021 Ford Explorer, 2013-2020 Ford Fusion, 2020 Ford SSV Plug-In Hybrid, 2017-2020 Lincoln Continental, 2013-2018 Ford C-Max, 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX, and additional Ford and Lincoln coverage.

What It Helps Address

  • Engine running too cool or too hot from a thermostat that no longer opens at the correct temperature
  • Coolant temperature fluctuation during driving or idle
  • Slow warm-up after cold starts
  • Cooling system service on Ford F-150, Mustang, Explorer, Fusion, Edge, and Lincoln models
  • Leak concerns at the thermostat sealing surface when replacing an OE-style unit

Installation Notes

Verify the thermostat style, temperature rating, and housing configuration before installation. This listing includes applications that exclude the housing on certain Ford Mustang, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, and Ford F-150 models, so match the vehicle notes carefully. The jiggle pin weep hole should be oriented to help purge trapped air during refill. Confirm the sealing flange dimensions and by-pass design against the original part before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Gates designs OE Type Thermostats to deliver OEM-equivalent fit and leak-free operation. Part number 34229 is built to OE performance expectations for the listed Ford and Lincoln applications.
