Motorad 1062-190 Engine Coolant Thermostat

Engine Cooling Thermostat Overview

The Motorad Standard engine coolant thermostat, part number 1062-190, is built for precise coolant temperature control in compatible Toyota Tacoma applications. It uses OEM-quality materials and OE-supplier manufacturing processes to support consistent operation in demanding cooling systems.

Key Features

• 190°F start-to-open temperature for standard cooling system calibration
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Copper case and wax compound for quick response to coolant temperature changes
• Jiggle pin included for air bleeding during service
• OE-specification manufacturing and materials

Detailed Description

Motorad part number 1062-190 is a standard engine coolant thermostat engineered to regulate coolant flow at 190 degrees Fahrenheit. The stainless steel body, copper case, and wax element are selected to provide responsive temperature control and stable operation under normal and demanding thermal loads. This thermostat is a direct fit for Toyota Tacoma cooling system service where the specified opening temperature is required. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 190-6201, 10629) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Correcting engine temperature that runs too cool or too warm
• Restoring proper coolant circulation timing
• Addressing temperature fluctuation caused by a worn thermostat
• Supporting stable heater performance when coolant control is inconsistent
• Replacing a thermostat that no longer opens at the specified temperature

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 190°F specification before installation and confirm the application matches the vehicle service requirements. The gasket or seal is not included, and hardware is not included. Inspect the housing and sealing surfaces carefully, and bleed trapped air from the cooling system after installation using the included jiggle pin.

Quality Assurance

Motorad manufactures this thermostat with OEM-quality materials and OE-supplier processes to meet automotive cooling system standards. The part is produced to OEM specifications for consistent fit and temperature control.
