This design reduces potential leak points by integrating the thermostat directly within the housing, which is constructed from durable plastic, stainless steel, and copper components. The 1017-189 part number represents a precise fit for Toyota Tacoma models, ensuring consistent engine temperature control and efficient coolant flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis thermostat housing assembly includes a bleeder hole to allow trapped air to escape, improving coolant circulation and preventing overheating. The jiggle pin is incorporated to facilitate air bleeding during the cooling system operation. The assembly uses a rubber gasket to create a secure seal between the housing and engine block, minimizing the risk of coolant leaks. The three outlet ports accommodate different coolant flow paths, with outlet diameters of 0.67 inches, 0.31 inches, and 1.36 inches respectively. The unit is designed to start opening at 189°F, maintaining engine temperature within optimal operating ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Resolution\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for faulty or leaking thermostat housing assemblies on Toyota Tacoma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolves engine overheating caused by thermostat failure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents coolant leaks due to worn or damaged seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves coolant flow and temperature regulation in the engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses air trapped in the cooling system with built-in bleeder hole and jiggle pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the engine is cool before beginning installation to avoid injury. Remove the old thermostat housing assembly carefully, noting the position of all outlet ports and bolt holes. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure a proper seal with the included rubber gasket. Align the three bolt holes correctly and torque bolts to manufacturer specifications (bolts not included). The bleeder hole and jiggle pin should be positioned to allow air to escape during coolant refilling. Verify proper coolant levels and check for leaks after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Motorad Integrated Housing Thermostat 1017-189 is manufactured to meet OEM standards for fit and function on Toyota Tacoma vehicles.
