Gates 34710 Engine Coolant Thermostat

Integrated Thermostat Housing for OE Temperature Control

Gates 34710 is an integrated housing thermostat built for precise coolant temperature regulation in applications that use an electric thermostat assembly. It is an OE Performance replacement with the correct housing-style design for service on Chevrolet Cruze, Sonic, Trax, Aveo, Aveo5, Cruze Limited, Pontiac G3, Pontiac G3 Wave, and Suzuki Swift+ applications.

The Gates Integrated Housing Thermostat line focuses on accurate temperature control and efficient engine operation in modern cooling systems that use integrated thermostat housings. Gates 34710 follows that approach with an electric design, a 105°C / 221°F start-to-open temperature, and a seal included for service-ready installation.

Detailed Description

Gates 34710 is engineered for cooling systems that require an integrated thermostat housing rather than a separate thermostat-only service part. The housing design helps maintain stable coolant flow control at the specified opening temperature, supporting consistent engine operating temperature in vehicles such as the Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Sonic, and Chevrolet Trax. This part number is also listed for Chevrolet Aveo, Chevrolet Aveo5, Pontiac G3, Pontiac G3 Wave, and Suzuki Swift+ applications.

As part of the Gates Integrated Housing Thermostat line, this unit reflects the brand’s focus on aftermarket thermostat solutions for vehicles equipped with integrated housings. Gates 34710 is a direct-fit style replacement for OE-style service where the thermostat and housing are serviced together. This part cross-references Motorad 725-221 and Stant 49522 for the same application.

What This Part Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or too hot due to thermostat control issues
• Temperature fluctuation caused by a worn integrated housing assembly
• Coolant flow problems related to a sticking thermostat
• Cooling system service needs on electric thermostat applications
• Replacement of an OE-style integrated thermostat housing on listed GM and Suzuki vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s thermostat housing style, connector type, and OE temperature specification before installation. Confirm the outlet dimensions and 4-bolt mounting pattern match the original assembly. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and inspect the cooling system for contamination, leaks, or pressure issues that could affect thermostat performance. Gates 34710 is listed with a seal included, but no additional hardware is specified in the product data.
